I'm always +1 to more explicit examples, however, I'm (almost) always -1 on showing anyone the wrong way to do it. We've seen again and again folks skimming for a grey box, cut-n-paste the example, and then ask why it doesn't work. So we have a pretty firm policy about never showing the wrong way to do it, even if it says in blinking red letters "WRONG WAY!!!" So, yes, +1 to the changed phrasing and providing an example. Maybe it will help. - -- Rich Bowen [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEjXHWXP03+sx4yJMRAhdWAKCpblPE3TXfVPkMCbuitwAszxd+/ACgxKKT Q8/t4KbCJ+WnXvtcgWbAB1w= =1azf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
