[mercury-users] Re: Example of possible 'simple samples and problems' document to aug ment Mercury resources

[Luke Evans]

Having got home and proof read this, I would make a suggestion to myself to
tone down the style a bit :-) 

Maybe I should stick to writing books in BIG letters for pre-schoolers :-) 

Seriously though, I think the DID YOU UNDERSTAND title ought to go, in favour
of the more pedestian, but less patronising 'EXERCISES'!
