Maybe I should start to take a programming course, I read to Programming for
the Newton and though everything was quite reasonable to understand the
chapter that deals with the hart of the matter is pretty badly written (I
mean, they suddenly presume all kinds of prior knowledge and hardly tell you
were to get it)
I asked quite a few times on the list at the time where this info might be
found, seems it's not available.

Didn't see the list yet, but with NewtCQ already available I don't see the
priority for a Hotline client at the moment, really nice, of course, but not
a top priority (at least not to me)
