RE: Need Some RPG Technical Questions

["Wilt, Charles" <WiltC@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Wayne,

I understand.  I prefer to ask such questions one-on-one, and if it sounds like somebody is getting
their wires crossed, I make every effort to help them realize and fix it.

I'm not one for wanting somebody who has memorized the manual....heck, I haven't why should I expect
it of anybody else?  From my point of view, there's more import things to keep in your brain other
than the exact syntax of some op-code you don't use often.

IMHO, understanding a language has little to do with memorizing the syntax of the op-codes.

Honestly, I'm not sure I'd want somebody who didn't feel the need to keep the RPG Reference manual
nearby.  (Unless it was Scott, Paul, Jon, ect ;)
