Perhaps if 'snippets' were called something more familiar like 'macros' Yes, I *know* they aren't, but I'm talking about a psychological comfort zone. -- "Engineers like to solve problems. If there are no problems handily available, they will create their own problems. Normal people don't understand this concept; they believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet." - S.
