Yes. That's what I'd do. Rely on the first argument's numeric-ness to determine whether it's a parameter list or name-value. Then run one of the two distinct parameter-parsing routines, which bung everything into a convenient hash for the rest of the function to play with... Then again, I don't do objects, so there may be cleaner ways of doing that. Roger -- He's an old-fashioned hunchbacked hairdresser who dotes on his loving old ma.
