I will agree with most folks that working stuff in a 'debugger' tends to be a bit more work than the usual prinf(...) types of solutions - but it also saves you the time of putting them in and taking them out... ciao drieux --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
