Fine, once the field is added, I'll use it. Until then, I think it's best to just use the description field. That way it's visible to users. Using the XK-Homepage field or whatever would be quite invisible. As for the extra work, it doesn't matter. -- ...Adam Di Carlo..<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...<URL:http://www.onshored.com/>
