Maybe a more generous dictionary would help. <0.5 wink> http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=enumerate Included in the Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary are phrases such as: "to tell by numbers; to count over, or tell off one after another; to mention one by one; to name over; to make a special and separate account of" Sounds close enough to me. Extremely close, actually. And I don't think we'll find anything better. --- Patrick K. O'Brien Orbtech
