It is OK for a lark, but sadly dir is not suitable enough. You do need to refer to the documentation off-line or you'll miss vital entries. It won't hurt to read effbot.org, either, as I keep finding out. Also check out the interactive help system. If you've got the html versions of the docs installed, it functions somewhat like perldoc. Type help() at the interactive prompt to get started. -- Neil Cerutti Will the last person to leave please see that the perpetual light is extinguished --sign at New England church -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
