for sure there is no doubt on my side ;-) this is exactly what i meant if you keep the number of files "constant". but as the originator of this thread alreay said: he looks for a solution of multiple file SELECTION. beside the applet i have no idea how to solve that....

Heck, throw that in a .tag file and your all set (in a basic way). -- Frank W.
