    It's usually a good idea to write questions with a bit of context so that we can see where you are heading - otherwise it's very hard to know whether I'm actually answering the question you really have, or whether the direction you had was correct. For the dbWriteSkill question, you could have asked that as "here's what I get - is that what you would expect?" (maybe with a picture of what the cellView looked like that you were dumping), rather than asking an extremely open question.

    Sorry to be a bit picky, but vague questions get vague answers - precise questions tend to be more useful for you and for everyone else, and are more efficient for those of us trying to answer them (otherwise we have to guess multiple possibilities as to what you really mean).

    Kind Regards, and good luck with your learning of SKILL!
