Good advice. I actually did download typo and played around with a bit. I
tried to incorporate my own functionality into it slowly, but realized that
I was making a huge mess. And every time a new version of Typo would come
out, it was extremely difficult for me to upgrade it. That is why I think an
Engine would be really nice. If only to allow us to play around with typo,
modify it and not touch the original code. I guess i''ll wait and see
what
Duane comes up with. Meanwhile, I''ll keep playing with the current
version
and try to learn as much about it as I can. Thanks for the tips =]
