	Hey buddy, I have read fire, fusion, and steel.  

	I do appreciate the warning.  In my experience, complex underpinnings
with a fairly simple graphical interface can be built much easier to
build than a simple app with a complex interface.  Only I have to
understand the code where the interface needs to be straight forward
enough that anyone can pick it up. Point in fact: the Junkers assistant
may have a lot of exceptions and special cases underneath, but it will
hopefully only take up a couple of screens with Text fields and pull
down menus handling the bulk of the input and output.  <this is the
young, naive programmer who hasn't looked through the Junker book yet>

ciao,
