Bringing up /proper names/ from the real world agrees with my idea though! :-) As a person, you have a list of "proper names" that you answer to and that you prefer. However, in some cases you will also answer to "Hey, you over there!" or "Someone who left a white Honda in the parking lot, please turn your lights off." So a file could have a list of proper names, but it can also be referred to in any other way and by any other name. Proper names would be preferred, though. -- Jonathan Briggs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> eSoft, Inc.
