I think of it as an essentially ad hoc mechanism. There's nothing really wrong with this approach, but without a consistent approach to parametrization, there's no guarantee that other packages will respect this variable value (and, indeed, the value of DUZ("AG") may not mean anything to them). (Am I the only one who cringes every time parentheses are used within a parenthetical remark (as is the case above))? :-) === Gregory Woodhouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed.
