I'm a Csound newbie, and noting the "underwhelming response" prompts me
to come out of hiding.  As a non-programmer, I find the manual to be
somewhat daunting and inscrutable.  But as a composer and synth freak,
Csound is too cool not to learn.  Want another oscillator?  Type one! 
Such things exist in Heaven, where I shall never win.

Yes please.  I see in the manual, for example, the syntax for the
hetrodyne filter analysis, but I don't know what it is, and I represent
7.3 people who are too shy to ask.  It says how to set the size of a
table and its wrap-around point, but I don't know why I should have a
preference for one size table over another.  I can probably figure this
stuff out as I re-read and things start to fit together better.

The tutorials and the Amsterdam Collection have helped a lot.  It would
be nice to have a few more .orc and .sco files to peruse, I will try to
contribute my own as I go, if anybody cares.  Thanks very much.
