Looks like the emulator worked on the work machine with a little 
struggling.  But I can see quite the learning curve.  Several examples I 
tried crashed or failed to compile properly and the documentation isn't 
completely clear on how things work.  I'll just keep plugging along at 
it (maybe one of these days I can get a machine at home that has the 
horsepower to run the emulator).

The first example was one to take text from a text box and open a new 
screen when a button is pushed.  That worked.  The second example was a 
list but it didn't work.  None of the examples I've found show a list as 
a part of an application, they all show the list as the sole element so 
I was left to interpret how things worked.  I got a list mostly 
functional displaying static data but adding a button caused the 
emulator to crash.
