Justin and Alasdair, Thanks for your help.
I'm sorry that you had to reformat the code. I had it written up in a text file and was just copying and pasting it into the terminal running sage. I suppose that the formatting must have gotten screwed up when I copied from the text file to post here. Anyway, I'm a complete novice when it comes to this. How do I delete variables so that the program does not hog so much memory when set to run for a long period of time? Thanks again, Ben On Mar 3, 9:12 pm, "Justin C.
