Dear NB, >> What's wrong ? It even gets worse: I add new "Xs" when I re-read my list ! << I just don't know what to say to help you here. You seem to have overly complicated things. Sometimes, when an approach you've put a lot of energy into pursuing doesn't work the way you want/expect, it's wise to step back and re-evaluate what you're doing instead of just barreling forward with it. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 19 Feb 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis
