And I didn't use caps-lock to type "I EVER" above. In fact that key is disabled on this computer, although I haven't gotten around to doing that on my new laptop. If I wanted to type "CONSTANTS", I'd type "constants", and then tell my editor to convert to upper case. I am a poor typist. Probably close to 50% of my keystrokes are "Backspace". And too many are accidental caps-lock. ;-) - Bob
