My program "Vectorine"'s coming along nicely now, and I think I've got all 
the main parts worked out.  Thanks very much to all of you.  But all the 
same, I'd like to get a proper book about Java for next time ("Java in Easy 
Steps" is good, but it doesn't say much about the underlying rules like 
variable scope, and anyway it's borrowed from the library).  I know it's all 
on Sun's website in theory, but I never can concentrate on anything long on 
a screen - by the time I get to the end of a page I've forgotten how it 
began!  Anyone know a good one, suitable for almost-beginners?
Thanks
