We have the LIST now, the next step is a GLOSSARY to go with 
it. If there is nothing already existing, then I will start 
filling one. Paul has converted the list to XML and created 
a sample for the glossary elements.

Given the original language reference you gave doesn't have 
much detail, I presume I will have to do some digging :)

The more I start to get into Eclipse, the more I like it. 
Sun are suggesting that it's only the same as NetBeans, BUT 
NetBeans can't handle ( as far as I can find out ) PHP 
development and debugging, javascript, and I'm now looking 
at C++ Since BuilderX is going to be another expensive bug 
fix ( when them finish it ;) ). I haven't thought about 
using  Eclipse for Java at all.
The CVS client is great, a lot more user friendly than the 
options I had played with so far. It might even convince me 
to drop FreeVCS (using Firebird) and switch to CVS my self!

I think that is the answer - it was designed to print 
filling the page.

The list does seem a bit slow in responding? Paul's message 
came through lunchtime yesterday, by midnight the list copy 
still had not appeared.

The CVS server seems to be down at the moment so I can't 
look, should the Glossary be a separate file to the base list?

Is it worth my taking the PHP starter guide and converting 
it? I also have the basis for a Linux version which the 
guys(and galls) on the php list are helping to fill out.
