It sounds much better now, initially I got the impression it was being 
produced just to raise money, but if it's being produced in order to be 
a source of reference for beginners then I'm all for it.  

I've got quite a bit of stuff on my web page, but something that may be 
more suitable is a gambelling chip macro that I wrote many moons ago 
which might be a good item to use as an introduction/tutorial on macros.
