Sigh. hehe. > > thanks > please email me if you have any hints. > > joe turner There's a couple of odd things in your request. You say: "am unsure how to tackle the problem" and "I have finished the program... its just not in the right order." So either you _tackled_ the problem (and it didn't work), or you want some of us to help you with your homework, which you havn't tackled at all yet ;-) Ask a more specific question. What specifically do you need help with? -- Warren W. Gay VE3WWG http://home.cogeco.ca/~ve3wwg
