howdy list, I'm having a bit too much of a hard time with this. Ye olde standard example, friends: [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... ] I want to add to so that it's friends: [ "1" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "bob" "2" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "betty" "3" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "kirby" "4" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "barb" ... ] Then print the list to the screen, (got that part) and be able to choose from them, as in >choice? 1 >[EMAIL PROTECTED] I'd love to be understand this better...next would be looping through conditional statements, then throwing and catching stuff... -- Turn your computer off. Go outside. -tom
