Here are a couple pointers that will get you going:

First, read the FAQ and the MIT Guide. The MIT guide is linked to in the FAQ, and it's always a good idea to the the FAQ on any site before posting there.

Second, you'll find you get a faster response to questions like these when you have a more descriptive subject. "Hello" doesn't exactly let people know what's going on.

Try reading through the FAQ and then, if you still have any questions, do a "search" (the button on the top of the page) to see if you can find what you're looking for. Failing that, ask again on the forum and you can bet there are lots of people ready and willing to answer your question.

Hope this helps. You're likely to get flamed if you don't do a bit of research before asking. On the other hand, this forum is a great source of information if used correctly. Good luck!

Exactally, if you had looked first you would have noticed that there is a place for these first posts and this isnt it.

No one will spoon feed you on site but many are more than willing to answer any questions that are the subject of well thought out posts that obviously show the poster to have at least read the other threads on the subject before posting.

Click on the link in my sig and you will be off to a good start.
