Oh. I've got no complaints about the way things work, I was just going to suggest changing the documentation to correctly describe the way things work. Too mundane a solution? It seems a bit odd that we've known the documentation is wrong for 6 years and nobody's bothered to fix it. Or is the documentation describing how we wish things would work regardless of whether they work that way or not? -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
