But I prefer event-driven code to multi-threading (maybe a legacy from my Tcl past?-), so...

Nope, I can appreciate the irony myself:-). But then, my professional life has been _full_ of ironies -- just consider I'm _highly_ verbally oriented (VERY low visual orientation), yet early in my career I was working on image processing, and for the last few years I've been working for a software house which does three-D mechanical design SW!-) > 'Python in great detail, with many excursions into useful and interesting > areas of computer science theory and practice' I can see, but 'in a > Nutshell'? Not exactly playing to his strengths... Nolo contendere -- concision is NOT my strength. But, hey, I _do_ always appreciate a worthwhile challenge!-) > P.S. Yes, I know that the Martellibot can be concise when he wants to be, I just wish (that it sufficed for me to WANT to be concise to achieve it!-). Rather, it IS hard work.
