I rewrote the code entirely and credited you and Ben in the headers. The code is pretty trivial, especially after I cut out the byte-compilation and the error trapping. I think calling it "scooping" is a big stretch since I proposed the idea too. Ben's original code had naming and other issues which I didn't see corrected. Once it's corrected we can discuss what parts of it we need incorporated. But he hasn't said that he's willing to do the assignment paperwork... and I was impatient enough to do the rewrite. Ted
