When I was teaching my mom computer stuff, she had a hard time with the
ways to do operations w/in programs. I could explain to her that to save
a file in Word, you would go to File and choose save, but then when we
were working Excel (or Paint or whatever) she had a hard time grokking
that the same kinds of actions were available from the same menus in that
program too.

Hope this helps,

Gina

My brain seems to have a circuit-breaker-like mechanism that, when I get
confused and befuddled by the overwhelming monstrosities of my life,
causes a default to the simplest and most pleasant of thoughts. Like
Marshmallow Peeps. I *like* Marshmallow Peeps.
