Jerry,
I'm a long time reader of this newsgroup, so I'm well aware of richard's
reputation and the probable futility of providing him with a proper
answer. I was just observing that it was refreshing to see someone take
the time to explain the thought process involved in solving a problem of
this type, rather than just replying "that's a Programming 101 exercise
that any idiot should be able to do". Will it help richard - who knows?
Will it help some other newbie? Maybe.
