Is there a kind of program you'd like to be able to write?

By analogy, first you say you want to get into transportation, and someone says "OK, here's how to learn how to fly a plane, ride a bicycle, drive a car, pilot a submarine..." and you say, "oh, I'd really just like to learn to sail", and that narrows it down to something where it's easy to say, "oh, OK, here's where to go to learn to sail".

So if you think of a kind of program that would be useful to you, we can better suggest how to get started with the basics of doing that :-)

A program that counts words, periods, commas, sentences? That would be nice for my writing, or at least interesting. I've always wonder how many periods I've used....

Sorry, but that's really all I can think of. I'm not even certain I know what is and isn't a program.

OK, you'll want to install Arc on your own computer, so that you'll be able to read your file which has your text in it.

What kind of computer do you have? Mac? Windows? Linux?

My school computer is a Mac, but I don't think it'll let me install anything on it.

My home computer is Windows.
