OK, so I did. That is beside the point. Still, why use it? It looks stupid (people are used to the other way) and it isn't practical, as your post shows. Also, you use other chars that aren't practical - the three dots as one char, for example. Why? If you don't have real problems, I guess you can always be a snob and get a bunch of artificial problems, that you can then pretend to solve. -- underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
