Re: [F-Script-talk] Fwd: Windows with F-script

[Deivy P. <ca...@di...>]

Andrew,
thank you very much.
I feel I still have to practice a little more, but you saved me some  
time.
I might come back with some more questions in a while. F-script  
certainly sounds like a very powerful tool.
I fell I have to mater it.

Do you have any pointers other than the documentation available on line?
Thanks again.
