Thanks for the replies!  Can any one suggest a really good BASIC tutorial?  I mean one that can tell me about the lay out and processes that is not overly technical?  I am a trauma nurse (by trade), so I'm not dumb (not much, any way!) but I need something very basic to get me rolling...

Again, THANK YOU ALL!

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny ...'
