If having a >filehandle character would make the code clearer, then let's do it. No: lists are the plural whatzitzes, containing zero or more singular whatzitzes. They are ordered. Arrays hold lists. Hashes, on the otherhand, are *unordered* pluralities containing zero or more look-up-able dualities. --tom
