As I said, I don't think it is important. I just mentioned it in the first place because I'd never seen a non-power of two number of slices used before. As far as the default being 1:1, if you look in the code, that actually is the default, and it doesn't matter because if the range is 1, the slice number is ignored. I agree that it's inconsistent, but I don't think it's worth breaking all the translations to change it. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
