If you are creating documentation for novices, some redundancy can be very helpful. But, at some point I think you have to have prerequisites, which treat introductory issues in some detail. Then the difficulty become minimizing the number and depth of the prerequisites. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
