I'm not sure I can? "Because I find it easier to read" is a pretty good explanation, and I'm hopeful is the one I implied. If that doesn't suffice, I'm not sure I can extrapolate further. The shape of the characters, the fact that they take up large vertical spaced opposed to smaller vertical space for the surrounded characters? > I think I'd better add that I can't afford to argue here...

I'm quite happy with the current general standard that we've got and Rafael's suggested additions apart from this one. Note ,we already have a rather large coding conventions guideline, so it's not a question of setting "ANY" standard, but adjusting our current standard. -Jude ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support?
