Reply to all: I realize that naming a variable "spam" is not entirely kosherized. It was originally named secret, but I renamed it in a fit of whimsy. The language is named after Monty Python's Flying Circus, is it not? Remember the Spam Sketch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_sketch I thank you for finding the problem; I thought it might involve string v int comparisons when Comrade D'Eprano's code went wonky. Many thanks, and good luck to you. PS: As for the inappropriate naming, the Swedes tried to sell their vacuums under the motto "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux."
