Hi. Once again I must enlist the help of those on the Net to solve
the problems of a new Mac owner.
(1) Recently I got ResEdit off a BBS. Satisfied that it is "freeware" (right?),
I set out to edit my icons.
Nope.
What does this program DO????
HOW do you use it????
WHY does it have no docs????

(2) I also got a "shareware" C compiler, being interested in programming,
which I set out to use. Nope.
"All floating point and special functions are directly accessed through
the Macintosh Toolbox routines."
WHAT is the Macintosh Toolbox?
HOW do I use it?

(3) Mystified by these programming problems, I set out to find a BASIC
compiler, or interpreter.
DOES this exist?

(4) This is the really painful question.
WHY does my Macintosh SE/20Meg documentation not mention ANYTHING about
programming the damned box??????

Thank you,
----Sascha
