Gentlemen:
There appears to still be a problem.
The email below was also sent, but I do not see
that it has been received. Send time was about
2 hours previous to this.

Hi Folks:
I actually resent this as a test because I've had problems contacting
this list. The understanding of it percolated up to my wee little brain
shortly after the first send (which didn't arrive).
I wrote the following as a solution:
def lstrip(S,chars):
if S.startswith(chars):
return S[len(chars):]
else: return S
and a global rstrip would be an easy corrolary.
Thanks
(and thanks also to Danny and Kent for clearing up the email problem)
Tim
