how about using the "ground" as ground (:-)). back home (in Turkey), as new ee majors, we were operating our electric heaters by connecting one end to the live terminal, and the other end buried in the front garden. since the return path was not provided, we weren't charged for the electricity! ofcourse, whoever did happen to jump over the fence and step in the garden may have been electrocuted. selimg ___________________________________________________________________________ Selim E.
