ah, yes byron did make here documents work, and i think paul goaded him into adding here strings with three <s. but that was years ago. it's not clear to me that there's any current point in a here doc. sure you can save a bit of memory, but i don't remember the last boddle i unpacked. and regardless, i'm sure it would have fit easily into memory. - erik
