Sheesh. Talk about cherry-picking data. Go read my post in it's entirety, instead of quoting mining out of context. If you still think I'm unaware of the difference between unstructured GOTOs and structured jumps, or that I'm defending unstructured GOTOs, then you might have something useful to contribute. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
