I think Lynn has the correct recipe for a beginning. Learn C well enough to fully understand (read the
code and visualize what it is doing) some nontrivial program. While the HPCalc program is of no
lasting interest to me I can see that it has several things about it that make it a good candidate for
helping one becoming C literate.

We now need to talk a knowledgable C person into holding some tutorials or give suggestions on reading
a book and the HPCalc program and be self taught.
