But, <warm fuzzy voice> we are all here.</>  :)

Though, having written the programs you have already provided, you are most 
definately a programmer!!

If you are worried about your capabilities to structure your 
programs/programming, there are ways to deal with it, like:
- program program program (you are already doing that), the more you do it, 
the better you will become.
- read other peoples source code to get a feeling how people solve things 
(especially with regards to structure), this is a hard thing to do though 
(atleast it is for me).
- read some books/guides about programming
- try to formalize your programming: divide it into design and implementation 
phases:
  * in the design phase you think mainly about what you want to accomplish, 
    and how to do it in a bigger picture so you don't have to tear it apart 
    later when you add more features.
  * in the implementation phase you actually do it, when you start this up you 
    should know what parts are needed.

Big software projects often have even more phases, like a requirement phase 
that occurs before the design phase.

I haven't been able to test your programs...yet, but I looked at the screen 
shots some days ago and.....well... the screenshots are small, that may be 
the reason, but it seems the colors may need to be changed a little ;).

If you go for more band-in-a-box type functionality I promise to do backflips 
:)...oh well... in theory anyway ;)...
