*shudder* Once a VB coder, always a VB coder? Whatever your first shop uses, you're stuck with for life? Again, I say *shudder*. Bah. Nothing teaches you a new language like having your job depend upon it. People who study languages merely for "personal growth" learn 50% of the syntax and 1% of the concepts, and then fritter that learning away on inconsequential newsgroups the world over. Alex Z, keep using and learning Python. Let it change your brain. Robert Brewer MIS Amor Ministries [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
