You and Bob have added a whole new layer of usefullness for me tonight. I've thrashed around with that function slurping stuff quite a few times but never really got it. I'd been avoiding trying to write my own *.pm files because, somewhere I got the notion that *.pm files were nasty complex creatures that required acres of special syntax and formatting. I'm very pleased with my query this evening and glad to find out I can get some use out of `use' (har har) beyond that afforded by other folks *.pm files. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
