Thinking about the same thing, I looked thru the posts by Lobelia, and noticed something interesting. Several people had posted code, ranging from 'hello world' to a simple working game. Nowhere did Lobelia say she had actually *tried to run* or *tried to understand* any of this code. Without some kind of feedback, how is anyone going to be able to help? Almost everyone knows at least one thing I don't know. But no-one but me knows what I don't know. I don't expect people to read my mind to find out what that might be. Irv
