oh heavens yes... but that would be too simple.... what's the fun in that??? - the trick in that of course is making sure that one has a clean delimeter for the 'prompt' sequencer - otherwise you are back to needing to know EOM - { "end of message" for the non-TLA enabled } so that one knows whether the remote end asserted 'over' or 'out' just like in the early days of voice based wireless telography.[1] At which point one really should get down into the innards and do the right thing about architecting a MOM { message oriented model } and grok it from the innards out.... or am I just being too old fashion here???? ciao drieux --- [1] and NO children you can NOT say 'over and out' that means "reply to this message, I will not be listening." I don't CARE what the Red Hollywood Elite has propogandized, that is an EVIL BAD THING and socially rude.... people will signal ZDK on that one. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
