It wouldn't be the first time someone looked at me a little funny. :) > But I'm approaching usability from another direction, I guess.

However, once you've already used the + operator to join two strings, you are much more likely to consider sum() for concatenating a list of strings. I remember being confused the first time I tried it and found that it didn't work. In the end, though, it's really not that big a deal. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
