I take your point but there is so much documentation most of which is not
relevant at the moment and I don't find it easy to find the information I
need. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack and I'm just asking if

scope and depth of knowledge than I need and I was hoping that there was a
more focussed way for me to understand what to do.
