Was: Little Torch vs. Meco Midget

Hello,

    I was trained with both the presto-lite and the Smith Little Torch.
    I have both at home and use the little torch the most. Being "fairly
    new" to metalsmithing, I have not heard of the following terms: 

       Oxidizing Flame
       Neutral Flame
       Reducing Flame

    Can someone please explain these terms to me, when you use the
    different types of flames, and how to recognize them when looking at
    your flame? 

THANK YOU!!!
Lynn
