Ken,

Thanks for your input. I see that he auto-correct function is sometimes

messing up one or two words. But, for the most part we can understand
the simple language used to describe the important points of this thread.
For example, I characterized HDL in my post as being defined as a
"hardware description language" or "HDL"—meaning, it is simply
a textual way to describe digital circuits.  Some people might wonder
“what does that mean?”  In simple terms, it is one of the two most
popular hardware description languages along with Verilog. It is
widely used in conjunction with FPGAs--you digital devices that are
designed to help with creating special digital circuits.

Best,
Dan
