It was unintentional, I hope you consider that. > Hey, no worries, no need to apologize. I've been told before, not in these words: that's the way forums work, and I should get used to it. The way forums work usually cognitively sucks for me (I need clear paths/organization), but it is what it is, the forums are what they are. All I can do is ask for some understanding and forgiveness if an when I get irritated by too many people and too many discussion off-shoots and/or run away from a thread of discussion.

I don't need to parse any more than one parameter, so list widget is good enough for the job. The final solution I'm building will involve processing handled by BASIC.

Use what makes most sense, whether it be leveraging what you know well already (because it is quick, more logical, whatever), or veering away from what you know just to learn something new/interesting (even if it isn't the "best" way and/or just for fun and/or have some time to kill.) > > > Sincerely, > Riz > Cheers, best regards, rock'n roll ! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
