The comments you added were very helpful, I couldn't quite grasp the 
concept before but I makes a lot more sense to me now. I wouldn't say I 
completely understand but once I've coded a few things with it, and 
debugged them a few times I should ;)

The final example was also very helpful, to be honest I found that to be 
more helpful than the example in the how do i... section of the help 
files. Very newbie friendly :)

Thanks again
