Glad to hear the tutorial helped. Mainly people have problems with structure and understanding the simple requirements that a UI err-requires (resetting that damn #MENUBUTTON variable for instance). Once you know what those are, you'll find that the structure of your code won't change much.
P.S. I still doggy-paddle. It's sad to see a 41 year old that can only swim that way. But I'm among the floaters, and not the sinkers.
