Not sure why it didn't help you Dick, but it led me to: http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq.html Which is admittedly sparing in its explanation but does at least describe the three values involved and their defaults. The tutorial also threw up this: http://docs.python.org/tut/node5.html Which describes basic slicing (using only 2 indices) of strings and also has a link to the previous reference page. Finally I tried googling for 'python slicing' and got this as my first hit: http://docs.python.org/ref/slicings.html Which is the language lawyers version!
