But it introduced a certain opacity into my code that I didn't like very much, and I ultimately abandoned it, even though it worked quite well. It's kinda like in C. If I want to use the strchr() function, I know I'd better do an #include <string.h> to get that functionality. I can't just assume all the library functions are all just there, waiting for me to use them. While I've often complained about having to include those header files to get to those functions, I still prefer having those "include" calls obviously staring at me at the top of my files. I don't have to *assume* it's there somewhere. I can see it right there, and it comforts me. Maybe all this is my "C" upbringing.... Paul -- Paul M.
