bdickens, thank you for your response. In my post, I wasn’t asking or expecting a response to all of the topics I mentioned. The list was to help any would-be responders to understand the types of questions most tutorials don’t address individually or in depth. And you can't ask questions. And in truth, I am a slow reader and suffer headaches when reading for long periods of time, which happens when you are a slow reader. I also am hearing impaired in a way that makes any audible speech sound like Alexa under a stack of pillows. Especially if the would-be tutor has a thick accent or their audio is anything short of crisp (treble all the way up and bass all the way down). So, jesse, scook, and everyone who suggested and offered links to what are probably great tutorials, I thank you, but I’m afraid they won’t help me.
What I have garnered from this interaction however, is very positive. My troubles are mainly technical. I think I’m beginning to figure out how to use this forum so, it would appear that my question has been well answered by every responder above. I already know that tutorials don’t work well for me, but it would appear that I can get answers to my very focused questions, right here on this forum.
So thank you in advance for all the great answers I'm looking forward to. Now, can anyone tell me if would be proper for me to pose a specific question here and now, or is it required that I open a new thread for each new question? Thanks again.
