This isn't a new problem, of course, it just drags on year after year -- which is the heart of MikeF's gripe. People have code that *does* work, but for whatever reasons it never gets moved to the core. In the meantime, the Library Ref implies the broken code that is in the core does work. One or the other has to change, and it looks most likely to me that Fred will change the docs for 1.6. While not ideal, that would be a huge improvement over the status quo. luckily-few-people-expect-windows-to-work-anyway<0.9-wink>-ly y'rs - tim
