Re: Dropping or cleaning a schedule

[Paul Johnson]

I was studying the code that Roger attached below and it occurred to me
I still don't understand the fundamental structure of SWARM.  I've been
studying the objective-C book and various snippits I find in the internet,
but I need a little help.  Here it is:

Does anyone have (or is there available, possibly in the mailing list
archive where I can't find it) a glossary of SWARM objects, which library
they are housed in, and how they are used, and what for?  I've found the
swarmdocs, of course, and I've studied a bit about defobj and the others. 
But I feel like a heat bug, poking at random directions in the dark,
without a MAP or SCHEDULE.  I understand I can screw around with
Hello.world and the tutorial, and I have, but I still have this unhappy
feeling of wandering in n-space.

I imagine you have all been through this before?  Just tell me the month
and I'll check the archive.

If there is no such thing, well, pooh!  There's no reason every new user
should have to inductively develop a personal model of the framework. And once
I do understnad it, you better watch out for an "idiot's guide to swarm" from
me!  I'll be famous:)
