Another very easy and useful thing to do would be the following: In get.e, make value() return a three-elkement sequence and not just a pair. The third element would be the number of characters converted to the returned value, when the function succeeds, and the position at which it failed otherwise. Trailing whitespace should not count in case of success. The variable containing the requested information does exist, but it is not global. Having to distribute a nonstandard get.e because of this feature is an annoyance, and there is hardly any code the addition would break, I think. Just append the variable to the currently returned value. Can you make the change in the 3.0.3 release, Rob? CChris
