Thanks.  I tend to think non-sequentially, so jotting down a few
notes in a text file is easy enough for small stuff, but flow
charts and diagrams are much better for outlining anything with
any level of complexity.

Kivio is probably too resource-hungry for my old laptop [at
least with the initials `KDE' in its description].  Maybe better
though, if your machine's fast enough, so I won't knock it.  Dia
looks interesting too, and probably leaner.

Oh, it probably will.  :-)



Thanks,
