I have been thinking about this quite a bit, and you are absolutely correct. Upstreams documentation is sourly lacking. I asked myself the question "If I was the end user would I use something so poorly documented" and of course the answer was no. So I have decided to take quickplay down from m.d.n for now. I will keep the ITP bug open as I will be working with upstream to improve on the short comings you have expressed above and resubmit at a later date. Once again thank you for taking the time to look a quickplay, your feedback was very much appreciated. =) Charlie -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
