That doesn't do what the OP specified. If any of the conditions fail, it should "jump" to the end and not execute _any_ further "do" statements regardless of the values of subsequent conditions. > On the plus side, it's easy to read and understand -- on the > minus side, it doesn't jump to the end once the tests start > failing. If all you want is easy to read and understand, then this is event simpler: sys.exit(0) -- Grant -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
