Alright already... I've got the point! haha.  RPG IV GOOD. 8)

Thanks to JH and VW for the CVTRPGSRC tip - I can just convert stuff I've 
already made, see how it differs, and ask one of the other developers here to 
explain anything I don't get (they all use RPG IV on occasion and are dying for 
us to make the conversion... it's coming).  They are all superstars (not an ego 
among them).

Well... I still did it. ;)   Now that project is done, and I've some time to 
play.   You people on this list have got me excited now.  Loads o' help too.  
Thanks.  I flipped through a manual to look up this EDITC function and noticed 
just how many functions there are.  I'm guessing I can make my own 
functions/objects for other people to use too?  That would be fantastic.

I'm really quite capable with it now - and I just started a short course at a 
local college to fill in some gaps I've left in my wake.
