Ta. I suspect the fault lies in the comment rather than than the code. When I first started this script I had not understood that STOP position was beyond the cut, and somewhere along the line the comments ceased to track the code. Or my head ceased to track reality. > > And then... sorry to say, but you would have a much easier life if you made > use of the Python XML module. (See the attached script.) And thanks for the guide to python and XML. This was in fact my first significant python program, and I was more interested in getting to grips with the basic mechanics of the language.

I was just curious, in case I was doing something wrong at my end. ta muchly brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
