Jacqi, forgive me for questioning/doubting you, but I really have trouble 
believing that, what with the literally thousands of scripts I wrote in HC over 
a period of nearly 20 years. I just don't remember having to strip commas from 
words when parsing and sorting text. If you say so, but why would Jim have had 
to point that out if it is the "normal" way of doing things? I guess the mind 
IS the "first" thing to go. (smile)
