I find understanding them comes with practice. The attitude you are describing certainly seemed to apply a dozen years ago. I asked a question about a utility which didn't have any documentation at all and was told to read the source... Yeah, right. I had the full 6 or 7 CD Linux set packed with thousands of utilities.

Highly unlikely. Try /path/to/Application.app/Contents/MacOS/application -- The trouble with witches is that they'll never run away from things they really hate.
