G'day Kent, Thanks for the input.
>The comments don't really add anything to the program. Comments that >restate exactly what the code is doing are not that helpful. The code >should be clear by itself. As a beginner they may seem like a helpful >crutch but you will get better at reading the code. Very good point. I have to go away for 3 weeks in a couple of days and I was trying to leave helpful hints to myself in the code so I won't forget what I have learnt. But you are right, I got carried away and most were just getting in the way.
