Likely this is also an assignment, and if not, it certainly could be, but the question was a well focussed one of "how do I accomplish this" asked in a way that showed the person asking the question had worked to find the answer, but, not suprisingly (this default discriminant deal is a bit puzzling) had got confused. The response was a thread explaining not only HOW to do what the student wanted, but also an explanation of WHY things are that way. Doing assignments is about learning, and providing just the right level of help to assist in the learning, rather than short-circuiting it, is sometimes a delicate line :-) -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
