+100 (or some very large number). This is a general problem in searching the python library reference ("keep this under your pillow"). Try searching for list, iter, read, or write or any one of a whole bunch of things a newbie would logically be looking for. (Or even a not-quite-newbie who wanted to check some detail.) -Bill -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
