>>I taught PC databases at a community college from 1985-1990. We taught students that dBASE III+, FoxBase, and FoxPro 2.0 were
end-user tools that you could also program if you got really good at them. And that was the mentality.

Tamar,
I also taught CME (Computers Made Easy), Beginning DOS, dBASE III+, Lotus 1-2-3, WordPerfect, RBase (4 & 5), etc from around 1986-1987ish.
I think my favorite class was the beginning Lotus classes. Always a lot of fun. Well, except when we could destroy diskettes in the CME class. <g>
Best,

Everything I don't understand must be easy!
The difficulty of any task is measured by the capacity of the agent performing the work.
