Ken, Great stuff you're doing... God himself couldn't write code that would meet with the approval of the pre-pubescents that live in IRC. You must have *wanted* a beating if you went in there looking for approval. ;) Did any of them offer to show you "proper code"? No?.... oh that's right.... none of them have ever written *anything*. I can understand you might have wanted to hear from some people that don't live on this list, but IRC isn't the place to go. You walked into the electronic equivalent of kids throwing things down at cars from an overpass. Don't let the bastards get you down. Ron
