Sorry for being so flip, but it's the only way I know how to avoid
screaming!
It is perfectly OK to ask any question here, as long as you maintain
some level of style, and try to search the archives of omni and
apple before asking something that might have been answered before.
Something I keep reminding people in the Linux community: telling
people to search the archives is only helpful if they know the words
that are significant to search on to find the question they're trying
to answer. Usually newbies like behoward don't. That's a feature, not
a bug.
Ultimately, if people are going to program for the Mac, that "head
banging" learning cliff is going to have to be brought down for
people, some of whom will vent frustration here. It isn't helpful to
call them "childish." Being frustrated causes people to vent; name
calling does not reduce frustration.
