Ugh, this is _so_ ugly, and it's a really silly micro-optimization. In most normal code, you spend most of your time doing "stuff", not passing arguments, so optimizing argument passing is generally not going to be much of a win. And it's certainly not worth it when it forces such weird non-standard internals. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
