I think that is a reasonable solution for this release; if some more sophisticated handling turns out to be desirable, it can probably wait until the next release. So unless there are strong objections, I'll implement that by default (well unless somebody else wants to implement it; David?). Are there funny names for backtab other than those mentioned in this thread= ? -Miles --=20 Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
