NS charts are less intuitively obvious than a normal flow-chart, since they are specifically designed for structuring a programme. Here are some useful discussions: http://fusion.tvcc.cc/staff/fuller/cs161/app2/app2.html http://www.mactech.com/progchallenge/2001_09_Challenge.html http://www.cbu.edu/~lschmitt/I351/Nassi%20Schneiderman.htm Studying these three discussion may help resolve anything you don't quite understand.
