Bracing single line expressions is something I constantly agonize over. I'm always thinking may as well brace it because I may want to add more to this if clause. That's one of the reasons I like python is because it's relatively painless to make sure that your blocks are closed properly, especially when you aren't using a decent IDE. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
