I forget the semicolons just about every coding session. My program never works right the first test run because of this. I can't even blame it on the cursor. I'll fix it and move on, but the next day I forget them again. Sometimes I forget the # before my comment marking the end of an if or other conditional block. Usually, though, it's the semicolon.

Beacuse they are constantly slapping their forehead and going 'Doh!' Being able to admit an error (even one you think is stupid) is a good quality to have. -- Brett http://www.chapelperilous.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sir, it's very possible this asteroid is not stable. -- C3P0 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
