Re: beginner

Dear Markus

Thanks a lot for your description. It's great.

Would you like to donate it to Wyona? And integrate it into
the file
wyona/cms/pubs/wyona.org/docs/publication/live/download/download_wyona_beginner_mac.xml
???

It would be a great contribution:-) Could you, would you?

Thanks

Michael
