<DIV></DIV>>My brain flubbed. I can't explain what HOPW means either.

<DIV></DIV>>I've been trying to figure out what I was thinking as I typed that.
<DIV></DIV>>Tracing back, I think I was mixing between "How to Think Like a Computer
<DIV></DIV>>Scientist":
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>and the Scheme textbook "How to Design Programs".
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> http://www.htdp.org/
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Somehow, I think the "HOw to" part got stuck in my head, and got condensed
<DIV></DIV>>to the prefix "HO". "PW" might be a simple transposing of "Writing
<DIV></DIV>>Programs"... but this only a guess as what kind of long-range logic bug
<DIV></DIV>>was in my brain when I typed that acronym out.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>In summary: I screwed up. *grin* That'll teach me to use acronyms
<DIV></DIV>>inapproriately. My apologies for the mixup!
