Makes a little more sense when you present it as a HyperScripted program (though, thinking about its dialog boxes, I should've realized that in the first place...), indicating, in some ways, that a lot more thought was put into the core than the interface. As long as that's under a modular system, it makes sense. It was just the thought of Wordliness that disturbed me... :-) -Lee | William Lee Nussbaum, Jr. | wln@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu
