Thank you for the code below. Yes, it actually does what I want it to do. The difference in what I did similarly yesterday (see my response to Philipp moments ago) is the [ ], a list. All this for one simple bit of list notation.
Somehow I'm not getting through to anyone what I have actually read. I do not plan to repeat it again here. If I have some time in the near future, I will write a line by line criticism of the basic tutorial. OK, maybe the first page*. I already made some remarks about 5-6 days ago about that document. I think it was that one. I'll submit it to one of the lists John provided on where I should send issues about the guide. Now to put an end to the show() question. See my next post in a few minutes. Subject is down another pathway I think. * Subject is "FAQ Page Needs Some Work" On 2/14/2010 6:29 AM, Jae-Joon Lee wrote: > On Sat, Feb 13, 2010 at 11:28 PM, Wayne Watson > <sierra_mtnv...@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > >> Well, I'm not quite sure what to say to your claim.

War is declining. And that's far from the good news." -- Steven Pinker (and other sources) Why is this true, but yet the media says otherwise?
