Dear Eric,

Thanks for the info. 

BTW, I'm not worried just frankly am wondering how much time I should be 
devoting to learning the current internals and C++ (still early on the learning 
curve but making progress ;). Sounds like I'll need to do both C++ and Python 
to do what I need to do (if you catch my drift).

Did I also hear from some previous traffic that: (1) Qt is being washed out of 
GR and (2) the Vr modules are being deprecated in favor of Gr modules? 

Best regards,
Joseph
