   They are all good ideas. My preferrence would be to strip the   
   forbidden characters before they are accepted by Paradox. Though I   
   have quite a bit of programming experience, mostly scripting, I have   
   found OPAL to be quite obtuse. I would love to learn, but I have yet   
   to find a book teaching the beginner how to program in OPAL.   
   Suggestions? Thank you.
