No, it's a digit followed by ":woot". Adverbs aren't currently restricted to being at the front of a sequence. I think a backtracking colon can't have an alphanumeric right after it or it's taken as an adverb. We *could* restrict adverbs to the front. Would have to think about the ramifications of that though... Larry
