Please read carefully before addressing something that has been explained in the original posting. The delimitors are optional and should be used only when you think they may help your reading of the program. Please read the posting again, compare the practical (2nd) example with the 1st example. The suggestion that I've made is similar to using redundent () in arithmetic expression. e.g. A = (B*C) + D; If you think you need to do something as in your example, it is all up to you. I'll bet you'd be the only one in this world to do so. -- .signature under construction ... {cbosgd,fortune,hplabs,seismo!ihnp4,ucbvax!hpda}!nsc!daisy!cplai C.P.
