After explaining the while loop;
Grimdore: I don't understand why you don't get it.
SilverRaven: I don't understand why you don't understand why I don't get it.
As a programmer, that code looks soooo simplistic to you. But for a non programmer, its all random numbers, signs, and letters in a file. Very scary! lol

I can see both sides... it just doesn't seem a stretch to me to say if you want the button to be bigger, then change the value of of the thing that says "btn_size" to something bigger. Not exactly rocket science. ~smile~ However, I do understand the fear issue in play there, which is why I realize I have to make a spin thing and a drag thing you can click with a mouse button to make the button get bigger, etc, without having to be bright enough to know the thing called "btn_size" might be the thing that makes the button bigger ~wink~
(I am playing a lot in the paragraph by the way)
On a separate note, you remind me of one of the best pieces of programming documentation I have seen in my 30 year career... it was in the glossary of terms in the old dBase II manual. Under the glossary entry to "endless loop" it said "see: loop, endless" -- look up "loop, endless" in the glossary and it said "see: endless loop"
Makes me laugh every time I remember it.
edit: here's a simple program...
while "Silverraven" != "I get it" do
Grimdore.print( "Why not?" );
end
