But "is export" means it is available outside the class anywhere this file is "use"d. Is it really intended that it is available outside the class everywhere except the file it is defined in? And if so, how should it be defined so that the multi is visible elsewhere in that file? -- Solomon Foster: colo...@gmail.com HarmonyWare, Inc: http://www.harmonyware.com
