Snarph,
You might try learning some basic , Visual Basic as well. VB Learning edition is pretty inexpensive and will help you with the building blocks, so to speak.
I have it, but am still very much in the tinker-toy stages of those building blocks. It has helped though. At least now, I can read script without ripping at my eyeballs and having my teeth itch!
Here is a most excellent link as well..

Phoon thanks for the responce you better get busy with that tinker toy stuff so i can take more of your themes apart 
UpsideDownGC thanks for the heads up. I think I might just do that but first I have to renew my Object DeskTop so I am dealing with the latest and greatest but thats just a matter of my getting off my duff mailing stardock since i dont do transactions on line any more looking forward to getting back in the saddle ( neh winnie)
