Yes, but on the plus side, I got to sleep, which I somehow can only do
when I hit an intractable problem.

The object thing makes much more sense now. I tell all my friends to
join the chuck list, and I think they did but I've never seen one ask
a question. I think they were angry about overloading the => operator
or something. Who knows why. Anyway, I'll ask something again around 1
a.m. tonight probably, so get ready.  Thanks again,

Andrew
