Good to have you back, Rick. I think. Sounds like you need to go back and review your computer language theory CS class that you took in University if you want to appeal to authority and definitions. I was taught very clearly what Dennis articulated. We spent about 2 weeks going over the difference between variables, names of variables, binding, and passing. And implementing everything in Scheme. Good days. And we reviewed that again in my computer algorithms class. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
