hi mat! this is actually kind of tough. There are some things that will suite some and some for others. I would suggest putting a little readme file in that tells users what the rc is set to aand a bit about the options. I say this because I for one would like to know before I crawl through it what settings have been done. oh, you might want to set cookies to persistant. This way, we don't have to always accept them. does anyone actually reject cookies? Thanks! -- Hands-On Technolog(eye)s ftp://poehlman.clark.net http://poehlman.clark.net mailto:poehlman at clark.net voice 301-949-7599 end sig.
