Physics Dept., IN Lines: 15 Xref: watmath net.sources.bugs:172 net.wanted.sources:300 ...is a way to pass arbitrary rectangular areas to an outside program. The current exec("blort", entry1, entry2, entry3, ...) works, but it's a pain in the butt to pass more than a few arguments. What I want to be able to do is something like exec("blort", entry1:entry2, ...) and have it pass all the entries in that rectangle. Any volunteers? Charlie Allen ..pur-ee!pur-phy!cca
