BTW, you probably want to learn why global names are a bad idea, I don't have time to explain that here (or point you at references). Going through some of the online tutorials should address this. -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "...string iteration isn't about treating strings as sequences of strings, it's about treating strings as sequences of characters. The fact that characters are also strings is the reason we have problems, but characters are strings for other good reasons." --Aahz -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
