Here are a few more ideas, none of which I'm in love with. Use a postfix on phrases with tilde: "Mickey Minnie Goofy"~5 Or overloaded parentheses: NEAR5(Mickey Minnie Goofy) NEAR(Mickey Minnie Goofy, 5) These make it look less like a phrase, which might be good. You can use tokenizer state names to make parens a different token after NEAR. Or use chaining of an infix operator: Mickey NEAR Minnie NEAR Goofy You could have a default NEAR slop of 10, which can be reset with tilde: (Mickey NEAR Minnie NEAR Goofy)~10 Doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
