I can well imagine this not making it into the documentation. Anyone know for sure? ______________________________________ Terry Poot (800)255-2762, (913)776-3683 The McCall Pattern Company, 615 McCall Rd., Manhattan, KS 66502 BITNET: tp@mccall.claremont.edu INTERNET: tp%mccall.claremont.edu@cunyvm.cuny.edu UUCP: {any smart host}!psuvax1!mccall.claremont.edu!tp (I think)
