You bet. I have lots of these. Especially a large dictionary that is kind of an application and site launcher. I type "l clp" at the command line, and l.py runs a function def launch(obj), which grabs the key "clp" whose value is this site address, and I'm browsing clp. Kind of like favorites with no mouse. Or another dictionary with applications. Same way. They work fine. I guess they aren't complex enough to require classes yet? I appreciate the tips. I'll do a couple tutorials and read my books and then come back with any OO questions. Thanks Bruno and Luis. rd -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
