Can you please post a small, complete program that shows the behaviour you want explained? You get this program by writing it -- either by cutting away irrelevant parts of the existing program, or (better) writing a new program from scratch that does nothing except demonstrate the behaviour. Note that in the process of getting such a program behaving this way, you may end up understanding the problem better. -- \ "Democracy is the art of running the circus from the monkey | `\ cage." -- Henry L.
