Hi Marty, We really should get together and compare notes!
(But after I shake this cold I've had for going on three weeks now which is precluding me from seriously looking at the excellent arrays suggestions offered by Richard and the others...). Yes, I use globals for two main reasons: (1) I sorta, kinda understand how to use them (2) I aim the class for non-programmers. Still, I intend to use my summer off to explore custom properties and arrays and the like! (You know, make the class more geek-friendly for the many geeks taking it to get their easy "A" -- NOT!)

It's a beginning-beginning programming class, for 8th graders. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
