Thanks man. Yeah I'm not going anywhere. If I don't get good answers from here then I'll go to IRC. I am on forums but tend to stay away from them unless I absolutely have to. I like newsgroups as they are - though I have noticed a massive drop in users ever since Google dropped their groups service. I also saw a minor drop in spam. I'm not too worried about the trolls either. D -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The | means "or", it is not something you have to type literally. So the syntax is: either a line number (maybe in a different file) or a function name optionally followed by a condition after a comma So in your case probably something like: break Old_MacDonald:23, name[indx] == 'd' (I'm not sure what "indx = 4" was supposed to do. You can't assign inside of a condition.) hp -- _ | Peter J.
