Today's plans got sidetracked because I spent most of today reading up on #xbase and looking at these old and decrepit-looking sites to examine the state of xbase dev tools. (A zillion years ago, I took a couple of classes using #dBASE III and dBASE IV for #MSDOS. I barely remember them, but I might enjoy playing around with an xbase to see if I can jar loose some recollection of what this stuff can do.)

Recently (not today, but close enough), I've been reading about #Lua and fiddling with "tables" which are dictionaries (other languages may use the terms "dict", "dictionary", "hash", "associative array" for similar concepts).
