Does this mean that the word in the list is moved *from its original position*, or that the word is *added again* to the beginning of the list? I can't get the expected results using either method (though some of the numbers are correct), so either I've coded it wrong (entirely possible), or I've missed another possible interpretation (equally likely). -- Peter Haworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] "You, not being an idiot, fail to think like an idiot could.
