And note that the fact that Bruce may feel like a bit of a novice does
NOT hurt the value of this; nay, it _increases_ the value of such a
guide.

A "novice's guide" is, in fact, best written by a novice, albeit
hopefully with some guidance from experts. Experts are not likely to
stumble over the same things as novices. In particular, it is likely
that diverse "FoxPro people" will stumble over many of the same
things.

Pointing out stumbling blocks is a useful thing...
