I don't buy this kind of argument. It seems strange to say that the language is designed a certain way because users are expected to use certain kinds of third-party tools to manage their code. What if I'm just putting together a little script to do something and I don't want to mess with a revision control system? -- --OKB (not okblacke) Brendan Barnwell "Do not follow where the path may lead.
