 EV> Howdy! Mark,

 EV> When I wrote "Script Kiddies" I was thinking of someone who just began
 EV> learning how to write Programs.

 EV> Not someone Shucking and Jiving portions of other Programs to make
 EV> their own.

 EV> Back in My Commodore Basic Daze I learned how to use the Print #
 EV> Command and I would add a modification to a lot of Basic Programs that
 EV> had a screen output, where I could select "S" for displaying on the
 EV> Screen which sent the Output to Print #3, or selecting "P" would send
 EV> it to the Printer by way of Print #4 .
 EV> IIRC??????, 'tis been a long time...


 EV> With MY Knowledge I'd probably write scripts that behave that way
 EV> and cause problems for Bob and Others Too.

 ml> it only takes time to perfect one's skills ;)

 EV> My Greatest accomplishment (I Think) was when I modified a QBasic
 EV> Program that I made for the PC at my Church, with a Routine that
 EV> printed Three Names across one line on each of the first three labels
 EV> on Avery Label paper, and then the info for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th
 EV> lines for those labels, because the Church couldn't use the Tractor
 EV> Feed Label paper that was used with their Dot-Matrix printer for that
 EV> job after someone gave them a Ink-Jet printer for their office.

 EV> Originally my little Program just took a few entries from a Data Base
 EV> file to make a temporary Text File.

 EV> Then the Text File was Read by the Program to have a Dot-Matrix printer
 EV> print Labels to be placed on attendance cards for each person who went
 EV> to Sunday School, instead of some folks having to write the Name and
 EV> Address info by hand on the card(s) that were used during the 12 month
 EV> "September to August" Sunday School Year.

 EV> Their Data Base Program didn't have a "FEATURE" to allow selected items
 EV> to be printed out, and I had learned enough that I was of help back in
 EV> 1993 while I still used a C=64 at home, but played with a Compatible PC
 EV> at work.

 EV> It was in 1997 that they got the Ink-Jet Printer and luckily I had the
 EV> same model Ink-Jet printer at home so I could scratch my head over how
 EV> to Modify my Program.

 EV> Here is what the Routine I figured out to sort out the info Read from
 EV> the Text File that was made from the Data Base, to be printed on three
 EV> labels at a time on the Avery Label paper looked like:

 EV> FOR B = 0 TO 2
 EV> FOR A = 0 TO 4
 EV> NEXT
 EV> NEXT
 EV> FOR A = 0 TO 4
 EV> FOR B = 0 TO 2
 EV> PRINT A$(B,A),
 EV> NEXT
 EV> PRINT
 EV> NEXT

 EV> It's not Rocket Science but I was proud figuring out how to do it.
 EV> My only problem with being proud of myself is that everytime I pat
 EV> myself on the back I hurt my wrist, elbow and shoulder.

 EV> ... Have you checked your smoke detector batteries, LATELY?!
