I'm really just a user, but over the past 20 or 30 years I've picked up a lot of little bits of knowledge about how to do things with MS-DOS .bat files, UNIX shell scripts, Windows macros and the Semware text editor.  I like to work out workarounds and kludgy ways of solving problems.  I'm also pretty skilled at finding answers that are hidden :-( in Help and on the Internet.
