Eli, your sentence and parenthetical remark are not an answer to Danny's question. I will say I was equally stumped when I used the profiler, and i thank Robby for explaining bits and pieces to me. In general, the entire answer suggests that there is serious room for improvement. Sadly the whole problem sounds like a problem of presenting information in a useful and easily consumable manner -- which isn't PLT's strong point. When I see such things, I sure wish we had an "HCI department" :-) -- Matthias _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
