I do like the idea of doing simple searches on the key/value pairs, I also like the thought of another level of folding. If you have 5 extra lines of k/v pairs under a heading, maybe you don't want to see them all unless you ask. The original submitter had the right idea, this allows alot of expansion and customization with minimal overhead. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Russell Adams RLAdams@AdamsInfoServ.com PGP Key ID: 0x1160DCB3 http://www.adamsinfoserv.com/ Fingerprint: 1723 D8CA 4280 1EC9 557F 66E8 1154 E018 1160 DCB3
