HI John,

Sorry for the delay in response and thanks for the heads up on Eclipse. The
delay in responding to your email is that I have not looked at my gmail in a
few  weeks. I started on the Google API and then was side-tracked into
studying (what to me was new) stuff like PHP based Wordpress, Joomla,
osCommerce.
I have decided to come out of retirement and to set up a small one-man
consulting company for web development, that is why I started to look at the
Google API. I will give it another go-around soon.
Yeah, 1967...I guess that really dates me...but I have been fortunate enough
to participate in the evolution of a lot of technology. I was out of the
loop (stuck in large corporations with low level C/C++ programming) for 10
years and then retired for the last 5 years raising honeybees, so I have to
catch up with all the new web stuff.

Thanks,
Frank
