Leaving it undefined is wrong whenever it can be avoided. Iff it has no meaningful value, then we should try and make it meaningful in the scope of the other two. ~$pair, because it has a \t in it, will always be true booleanly, and so will ?$pair off course. Because of this, I think that ?+$pair should also be true. Juerd -- http://convolution.nl/maak_juerd_blij.html http://convolution.nl/make_juerd_happy.html http://convolution.nl/gajigu_juerd_n.html
