Ok, to what depths have we descended when we start quoting Beevus and
Butthead? :-)

Thanks,

May I humbly suggest that you start another thread on 'starting out with
sub-procedures?'  The lurkers and archives will benefit as well as you, I
think.

I believe from my experience that it is indeed possible and easy to ease
sub-procedures into existing code a little at a time.  If a simple viola
player like me can do it, _I_believe_ anyone can!  And I started out in the
card age.  By the bye, Fire is cool!  Heh heh heh!  Yeah, cool!
