No problem here, this is the sort of question I'm happy to defer on, especially as it shouldn't really affect the final functionality. Given that I hadn't yet started to extract the code this is no skin off my nose. I'll go ahead and leave this code where it is. Cheers -- Eric -- Eric Schulte http://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte/
