Quick update (and many thanks, as well)

both computers will now compile and install the svn kommander (I was missing a 
factory something-or-other pkg, and the qt4-dev pkg on my laptop - but it 
compiles from scratch now)

file, everything worked fine.  You can fill volumes with what I don't know!!!

you did...  but I let the tool look in the build directory - I had to drop 
down to the src directory to find the .la files.  Simple enough, once I knew 
what to look for ;-)

One quick observation, the new docs regarding the array (mentioned in an 
earlier email) don't discuss key-value assignment, except as indexes.  This 
is on the .org.test website - so it's the new stuff.  The method you 
mentioned for assignment (arrayname["key"]="value") is plenty programmer 
friendly and easy enough to use, but I suspect non-programmers using 
the 'insert-function' tool may be at a loss.  But not a showstopper by any 
means.

Finally, you mentioned needing some help with some documentation/tutorials.  
If you shoot me a copy of the code you want described, I'll take a look and 
let you know if I can add any value.

again, thanks for the tips getting svn & plugins working.
