If i'm not mistaken we are discussing the "Timer is in the future" case, where is timer existists only in the timerlist. So there is no info.vdr. :-) -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
