The package is much simpler to use and maintain now. To be honest, I didn't think I could catch the Boolean result of an "=" expression and return it as the result of a function. I've just about got a handle on Stacks. Do you suppose I should move on to Trees or Queues next? Furthermore, do increase my understanding of the Stack data structure, are there any particular Stack algorithms I should read up on? I've already covered Linked Lists, which are pretty simple. Any advice would be appreciated. Stapler
