I don't think you should see this as untidy. I don't believe that this functionality is undesirable or unintended. I suggest you have the main/default package named zulu.ijs, but that you include your other scripts in the same addon. Then (load 'format/zulu') will work and load the script most users will need, but (load 'format/zulu/lite') and (load 'format/zulu/bare') will work too if the user needs them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
