Hello HMG World!

Dear Sirs.
First I want to greet all of you and present my congratulation for the great work you have done for all this time in HMG development. Also, want to thank this forum's administrators for the opportunity of accepting me as a member.
As asked in this page, please, let me introduce myself:
I've been working with software development during past 32 years. Started with Cobol/RPG II in mainframes, Nixdorf Basic in minicomputers and, when microcomputers arose, migrated to CP/M basedd machines (Cobol) and after to dBase II, III, Clipper Autumn, Summer, 5.xx, Visual Basic 6, xHarbour and Harbour. Currently, in the company where I work, I'm envolved in the Microsoft world, using the dot Net platform (ASP Net, C#, SQL Server, etc). This company develops e-commerce platforms. But this fact doesn't make me forget the xBase world, which I love so much, and is known for it's power and simplicity. This feeling keeps me all time near xBase through my participation on the bigger brazilian forum dedicated to these languages, Clipper on Line, as a colaborator level member.
Unfortunatelly, my skills with HMG are still beginners level. I'm trying my first tests using the code supplied in the samples folder. This is why I joined you, fathers of the matter.
By the above reason, my participation here will start as a poster, making a lot of questions and hoping my mates be patient even with stupid questions. On the other hand, I hope I can collaborate with other subjects, mainly Harbour and SQL languages and bug reporting. I'm not a C language programmer too. So, develop HMG is not possible for me. But I may have ideas...
So, I think thats all for now.
Best regards from Brasil.
