Thanks. I thought "expale" might be a typo for something, but I
couldn't figure out what. I also appreciate your advice, and I would
be delighted to follow it. Unfortunately, trying to make a living
makes it impossible for me to learn all the things I'd like to. After
all, my parser works and I have a fairly good understanding of how to
use GNU Bison in a practical way. It's like the Arkansas Traveller: I
may not know much, but I ain't lost.


I'm sure a knowledge of compiler theory would make me a better programmer,
however I didn't need it to implement loops and conditionals. If they
require an Abstract Syntax Tree, then I must have implemented one without
knowing it. However, I thought I was just using basic programming skills
and common sense.
