As a matter of fact, it could be useful, but I don't think it's vital! (Example of possible usefulness - present an item from the list for user input and depending on user reaction, you may want the list of what's being processed to change: the original list has become a 'default' which can be overridden by user choices in the loop). One drawback of this is that it could be an absolute b*gger to debug when the loop does something unexpected, but, hey, that's the sort of thing which makes programming fun -- ------------------ ------------------------- |\avid Aldred / David at aldred.demon.co.uk \ Nottingham, England |/ --------------------------------
