We would especially like a thorough review of the MPW chapter. (I'm not an
MPW expert and neither is Chris :-).

Please understand that this is not supposed to be a chapter _about_ MPW per
se, except in a general, overview sense (e.g. Chris is happy to have the
distinction between RETURN, ENTER, CMD-RETURN and the infamous
RETURN-DELETE-ENTER sequences described :-)

Rather, this is supposed to be a chapter on MPW _perl_: what makes the perl
tool different (better? weirder?) than the standalone MacPerl app; what
distinguishes MPW perl use from, say, Unix command-line perl use.

We'd like to hear from:
   new MPW users - Does the chapter help?
   less new MPW users - What do you wish someone had told you?  Is it here?
   old hands - Are we accurate?  Any tidbits you'd like passed along?

Thanks -

Vicki
