thanks for confirming this. also, i found this post on TT mailing list that describes a way to flush TT content as soon as it gets generated. http://www.template-toolkit.org/pipermail/templates/2004-February/005776.html downside of it is that WRAPPER directive is broken in this case. but i don't use it in this app. > - Perrin > James. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Moody friends.
