OT, but are signals "thrown"? I know that in C++ and Java, exceptions are objects and are "thrown" (and perhaps "caught"), where in PL/I and some other languages they are states and are "raised". But signals...? [Just to compund things, PL/I (and REXX) has a SIGNAL verb that raises an exception.] Tony H. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
