well, we don't need readUsersMind. Perhaps we need a createUniqueStringAndAttachItToTheEndOfTheUsersSpecifiedString Since this unique string fragment is needed by the program and not by the user (hence, so many users getting confused by its requirement), it could be anything... it could be a magic time stamp, a random number, whatever. What would the user care. In fact, embed it into something recognizable such as square brackets or parens (I use (%u) ) and the problem is solved. I think Alex has a perfectly reasonable suggestion. That it is doable or not is something I don't have the expertise to comment on. > > Christiaan > > On 29 Jan 2008, at 12:21 AM, Alexander H.
