Basically, I agree with Gilbert (for once :-). But I do have one objection: You imply that "book knowledge" can't become "action knowledge" without the active interaction in a rich etc. environment. I don't think this is entirely true. I believe that "book knowledge" can become "action knowledge"... What else would "book knowledge" be good for ? -- Frans van Otten Algemene Hogeschool Amsterdam Technische en Maritieme Faculteit fransvo@htsa.uucp
