Unless you're saying it for deliberate effect. Smith: "To whom do you pay rent?" Arcadian girl: "Rent? We do not know what it is to pay rent!" Smith: "Ah. They're Irish." They know full well what "rent" means, but don't truly comprehend the concept, as they've never done it. I would say that for many people, command lines are the same thing. For me, photo editing is like that. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
