Just for clarity: In stating the above I wasn't intending to express a preference for or against changing things, just that the current situation doesn't cause me a lot of confusion. (I've dealt with C and Java long enough to know that sometimes assignment doesn't always mean exactly what you might initially expect.) I don't have any problem adapting to whatever is ultimately decided. Pm
