Lechinchilla - If I may add a kindly thanks for the encouragement, progress is continuing. Really, most slowdowns are due to my taking time to understand simple coding concepts. What's worse is that I should be able to remember them, but - and on top of that, I have a bad habit of ignoring tinier things with the intent of correcting them later! Luckily, one of the cool features of Notepad++ - amongst other things Gin has shared! - is that it makes finding errors pretty fast and easy, and ideally I'll become more proficient day by day.

Commenting on the main post, Gin - I'd appreciate some fixing on the Cecil nscript, though it isn't a high priority. I don't think side stories do anything impossible - they just streamline the process for people used to writing instead of coding. Most of the errors I make in re-patching are due to the fact I would rather write a good five paragraphs then write one, and then spend a page or two worth of time looking for places I've forgotten to \. Chances are, the Cecil re-pack was more hastily released, or released by someone who doesn't do too much coding, or there was an issue in the translation that never got fixed... So on, and so forth.

Regardless, it would be great to fix that cursed nscript. It has claimed enough lives, enough smashed keys of frustration. And I'll admit, it's nothing against Cecil personally - she's a likeable character, which is probably why I don't really like her scenario proper... - but her nscript is vile and I have no sympathy for it. It's about time someone goes old yeller on it, before it brings about any more tears of sorrow.

Oh, and might I recommend you pick up a voice recorder? I have an acquaintance who enjoys speaking aloud to gather their thoughts. Though I don't like doing so, I know it's helped them a lot, both keeping track of things and developing new ideas, very important in their work. If resources permit, give it a whirl!
