peter--

I'm confused. I think what you meant to say was, "do you want me to train you..." rather than "do you want to train me...".

If that's the case, I would lead them through the "hello world" tutorial and have InDesign enter their name on a page. I would then show them the NINA geometric pattern script(s) I've posted here.

This should show them that programming can be easy, and that it can be fun.

You can introduce programming concepts--variables, loops, and program logic--as you go.

I'm working on these with my 10 year old son, who very much wants to write his own computer game. It's gotten him to do his math homework, at least.<g>

Thanks,

Ole
