Sorry. 8^) I've actually been on gummint jobs where any function > 300 lines needed written dispensation to be coded, and modules were limited to about 600 lines. That has always seemed reasonable, ever since, but it's just a personal problem. 8^)

Thanks. I get better at this stuff as I go along, though. You guys is still seein' the rough edges. 8^) Ben has made a significant contribution to the current proxy, probably more than I at this time.
