   * A basic tutorial for HLL implementers that starts from step 1 of using mk_language_shell.pl and ends with some new type of builtin implemented and a custom Configure-time check being added to the build process in the new HLL. Basically, an updated squawk tutorial, but perhaps shorter and easier to get into.
+
+nqp-rx abandons mk_language_shell.pl altogether.  We'll probably come up with a new one.  Yes, we need a full-on tutorial, I just haven't had time to write it.  It would help to know a language to use as a tutorial example.

  * How do I use threads in NQP?
 
+How does one use threads in Parrot?  (This isn't meant to be glib -- before I can explain how to use threads in NQP, I need to know how one can use them in Parrot.  --Pm)
+
  * How do I use PIR from NQP?
+
+One can either use the PIR opcodes directly with pir::opcode($args), or one can substitute long sequences of PIR using Q:PIR { ... }.
