It seems to me that what you proposed was a "solution", that seems obvious only to you, to a problem perceived only by you. I am afraid you would have to work rather harder to persuade me that there is a problem, let alone that you have found the solution to it. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC www.holdenweb.com PyCon TX 2006 www.python.org/pycon/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
