An ellipsis is, in its usual sense, any punctuation that indicates that something was left out. Examples include three dots (...), or a dash (as in the Jewish G-D), or, I suppose, symbols for those *$%& curse words. Another not so common sense of the word is when something is left out of a sentence but not marked. For example, if I say, "I have a piece of software I'd like loaded to my computer" then the ellipsis is between the "like" and the "loaded", where "to be" should be. -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
