>I dont understand the big deal that people have with comments and blank lines??? who cares really. if u have to turn in your program to someone yes it would be nice if u made it look neat and indent and comment lines etc. if your coding for yourself and no ones ever gonna see it anyway who cares. If your coding and someone wants help and u send them a sample of your code so they get the idea and there are no comments in there...its their problem. Lets face it comments and "prettyness" are unnecissary, they are not included in the final package they are mearly a convience when re-reading some of your old stuff so you or those u work with know whats going on quickly and easily. > >MikE I sat awhile trying to decide whether this was "tongue in cheek" or serious. I guess it's intended seriously. If so, expect an interesting life in years to come :-) RM
