That's a self-contained piece of code.If I came upon it, I'd probably copy and paste it to IDLE, see what it comes up with, and proceed from there. Deranged you may be, but so long as code can be dropped into an interactive interpreter, it's fine. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
