THANK YOU everyone for the fine assistance.

It comes down to knowing _which_ reference I have to open to retrieve the
particular information I want.  I am downloading what material I missed
by visiting the wiki earlier (thanks!) and will have to create a text file
to help me know which file to open to get at what I need.

I'm not doing this for school, or for profit, just to expand my interests in
programming!  I wish I were introduced to Fortran when I was in grade school;
imagine what I could have accomplished by now :-)  I fully support having
Fortran in school, the earlier the grade the better.

I'm sure I'll have additional questions as my urge to write programs increases.
