But I am one of those "lets be explicit about what I mean" programmers, at least in any thing over 10 lines of code, but then I type faster than average which may be why I was never concerned about a few extra characters here and there, and I have never had to work over a 900, 1200, 2400, baud modem.... To put it another way, IMHO, you will *never* be frowned upon for including a 'return' when that is what you mean, but be prepared for a thrashing the first time you leave an open ended function that returns a value that it shouldn't and you break someone else's code because of it. http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
