Questions on regexps do pop up on the TB* lists from time to time. No wonder, since the lists are the best source for help on how to use TB! Once I hoped for a help file that match the other qualities of TB! but time has made me cynical. Therefore, I think, it would be an unfortunate thing to do since there is a possibility of confusing poor newbies more than they already are. It could turn into the old (c)-smilie-problem (remember that? Those were the days!) in miniature. -- Urban I gase at the brilliant full moon. The same one, I think to myself, at which Socrates, Aristotole and Plato gazed. Suddenly, I imagine they appear beside me. I tell Socrates about the national debate over one's right to die and wonder at the constancy of the human condition. I tell Plato that I live in the country that has come the closest to Utopia, and I show him a copy of the Constitution. I tell Aristotle that we have found many more than four basic elements and I show a periodic table. I get a box of kitchen matches and strike one. They gasp with wonder. We spend the rest of the night lighting farts. ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
