Excellent suggestion, (behold the power of the command line!). I ran two saved versions of the script that had produced the symptom originally described. The fist seemed to be caused by too many 'if' statements, the second by adding another array, but both came up with the same system error at the command prompt level shown here: SystemError: com_backpatch: offset too large This error is not produced with the IDLE console but is seen only when executing from the command line. I'll search around and see if I can determine what this means and a possible fix. Thanks for the suggestion! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
