Great, since this is the first rendition of that code which I can actually understand. However, Piers' typo brings up another question. In the body of such a sub, is it OK to leave out the carets, like $got and $expected do, or are they required, like &^sub ? -- Peter Haworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] In Cyberspace no one can hear you scream, unless they have a sound card.
