Once you know a function, I agree it is pretty easy to find out what it does. But there are so many of them that it is difficult to know whether you already have a class that does what you want... I suspect that most people have a small set of favorite classes, and rewrite all the rest on top of them, even if there are predefined classes to do the job. People more knowledgeables in Java are welcome to support or refute this statement... -- --------------------------------------------------------- J-P.
