Thanks, but I already know how to make random changes to code until it works :) I want to understand what I'm doing and why. Why does the same piece of code work perfectly fine on one PC, and blow up to the size of a house on another? This surprises me, particularly since the not-working PC has the same fonts as the working one (plus extras). -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
