Success at last....getting my feet wet with Plua, with special thanks to Berkant

I think I mentioned in my first post that as a busy father of two who can't just jaunt away to the computer for hours, my only option to dabble in programming is generally at night, in bed, with my palm.

I'd tried other palm languages before (mainly PocketC, some izibasic), but as a guy starting from square one the going was tedious and I felt like I could do examples and stuff but I couldn't really just dream up a program (even a simple one) to do what I wanted to do. It was too complicated, I didn't have the patience, time...etc.

With Plua, and Berkant Atay's examples to get me started, I've actually made MY very first program that can actually do stuff. Even with the scant lua/plua documentation out there for total beginners, I made a tiny program: a checklist for college tasks that--get this--stores the status of where I placed checks on the list in a database and remembers where I placed the checks when I re-enter.

Revolutionary, I know. But I'm starting from absolutely nil, and with other languages it would have taken tons more code and patience on my part. For a guy in my weird situation this is about as good as at gets, and I just wanted to say thanks for the help and thanks to the Plua gods wherever they are.
