But the drawback of your suggestion is that: say you want to go to the "s"'s, so you type an "s", then you change your mind and want to go to the "m"'s. In your system, that would take you to the "sm"'s instead. You'd have to add a way to cancel your request in your system. The present system is self cancelling if you wait long enough. ___ | \_|IM RATLIFF Dept. of Economics University of Arizona
