have trouble remembering the spellings and some english rules. One of my
co-workers learned to spell phonetically and is quite good at spelling
and can pronounce anyone's name (including those foreign to the US).

No correction---of you, that is---is necessary; the correct spelling
is indeed as you mentioned, hobbyist, unless something's been changed
that I'm unaware of. from assembler to various high level languages. Makes
me wonder why
I can't learn other languages.
Anyone have any good links to English grammar rules? I'll also try to
use my spell checker more often.
PS: Thanks for all the info on installing the CD, I will attempt to
install it tomorrow. I have my disk dka500 and the CD on DKB300. I'm
still wondering where I am at the '$' prompt.
