I really don't know what your problem is. There is no detail in your profile that would lead me to believe that perhaps English is a second language or that there is some cultural sensitivity, so I must assume it is just a bad attitude.

I realize that beginners need to start somewhere and IMHO what better place to start than with the manual. I don't know how you expect to earn respect when you flagrantly ignore the manual with its fine examples and then ignore the good advice offered on this board.

I think you should reflect back upon your own work and think about what a supervisor would think of someone that just makes up commands and syntax that do not exist in the manual. By not doing proper research and simply posting to the board, you are likely to get the advice du jour from whoever happens to answer your post which may not prove to be the best advice in the end.

I recognize that I have a low tolerance for mediocrity but see nothing before this post that should illicit such a response from you.
