thanks Noah! ::> There, isn't that easier to read?
it's easier to read on small codes like this, but when the code gets larger, surelly you need to use the scrollbar like working out in a gym... for me is very important being able to see around 5 'def' contents on the screen without having to scroll (well, i must confess i have an awful memory, maybe i'm getting too old...), but if the problem is politeness from me, of course i can clean the code before posting... thanks and sorry about everything! :-) --------------------- On Mon, Jul 28, 2008 at 12:25 PM, Paulo Silva <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dr0id, thanks! your code resulted as i wanted, but... > > ::> This 'a = []*8 ' does not what you expect.
