If you just read the examples, and not the explanation, you'll miss a lot!

I mentioned the spot already in my mail - it's the "Data Management" 
manual. It's the same for all programming languages, so why fill up all the 
manuals with obviously very seldom used data structures?

>I am too quick to read

take your time!

>and judge the examples(hmm I may have to slow down
>on that one from now on)

yep, better slow down from time to time for all topics! Often you'll save a 
lot of time when one sits down first and thinks. There's the story of the 
IBM boss that made a sign with the word THINK! that every employee had to 
put visible on her/his desk! ;-)

>Thank you all for the insight and help

The same to you and all the other listies!
