Well, not everyone's shells are as awesome as bash... and not everyone knows you can do that. That said, though... this is a good reason for giving full context for the question. "I'm trying to X, but I get this error because of Y. How would I go about fixing Y?" - response: "Actually, you can do X in a slightly different way.". Just sayin', there might be other reasons for wanting to put things onto one line. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
