Exactly. Even though I took Mike's original more or less as-is and just added a couple of things, I still got my fair share of errors. With my memory I *always* end up looking up a few things. The console messages help enormously. As does syntax highlighting. I'm awful at counting parentheses, and luckily I never have to do it. Best, David
