Definitely - I thank you for your comments and feedback - I do welcome comments to help improve the tutorials; after all, it's my first time at writing a tutorial so there are bound to be things I can improve on.
Regarding your feedback surrounding the use of 'or' in my Prompting with Default tutorial - I would be half inclined to agree, it would be offering fancy alternatives to a user who is only just trying to understand the overall concept. But I do want to offer examples that will try to get a user to think about WHY something can be coded in such a way, if the user isn't prepared to dissect the examples, then they shouldn't really be reading the tutorial in the first place.
Where the *error* localisation is concerned, I would think this is a far simpler concept to grasp than to store the previous handler in a local variable and then reset it. I was considering not including the second method at all, but again, I felt the tutorial should require the user to actually think about what the code is trying to achieve and various ways to go about it.

It was in jest ... carry on. :wink:
Kerry:
I agree with the use of OR and with localising *error*. Both are rational methodology.
... but we have been having this discussion for years now.
Good introductory tute Lee.
Regards to all.
