Actually, this _is_ what it does now, but it's not documented, so that shouldn't be relied upon. I'm not entirely sure that simply accepting _any_ number makes for a good API, however. I suspect that in many cases, numbers outside the expected boundaries may indicate an error on the caller's part. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
