Ahh, that makes the implementation so much easier, but also really messes with things in a shared environment unless I make a copy of tree before I start unwinding it. Otherwise, I was going to have to start adding "at end of rule, pop the following entries", like Perl's "local" implementation. Now to try to figure out what the rest of his docs *really* mean. Of course, I always have the source code. :) -- Randal L.
