Obviously 4.

If it's always used with arts and only arts (not including incorrectly built configure scripts) then leave it where it is. _______________________________________ Grimau Lysik'an, The Bionic Elf _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
