Yes, these are newsgroup files produced by nntp output so all digits. Thanks for taking so much time to go thru that code of mine and even write a full example. I will be turning in shortly, Its 11:30 pm here, but I'm looking forward to wallowing around in the example code. I'm pretty sure that single lesson will have a lasting effect on my future scripting. On first take it is nearly unreadable to me so I will be a while figuring out what it does. I can read enough of it to get thoroughly confused. I'm not saying it is confusing code just that it looks unfamiliar to me. But that would be true of any but the very most basic stuff. I'm not asking for futher explanation now... just letting you know it will be a while before I can ask a sensible question (If I need to). Maybe tomorrow it won't look so dauting ... to me. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
