i think he meant both... there are times when i see "wall of words" code and can 
pick some things out of it but why they are there, what they are used for, and 
how they operate are still asked... digging deep in the code may answer those 
questions after some circuitous path tracing but it depends on the code...

like james, i also have like 40-45 years programming experience... 99% of my 
stuff is still text mode tools and apps... GUI stuff has just never made sense 
to me...
