Oh, and BTW, I just noticed this:

Unclear question.  Knowing what you really
want is the first step to asking for help.

And yes, it's not always easy to know what
you really want (including what you want
to know).  That's why figuring that out is
the first step (and sometimes the only one)
to finding the answer.

Ask yourself what you're trying to do, and
why.  I strongly recommend this little gem
of a book by George Polya (1945):
