Hmm...Well that's a new wrinkle on my brain.  I just simply told Netscape to
include those text files with my posting, but apparently, it did some strange
encoding as you say.  Guess I should cut and paste next time.

Yes, I mentioned that in my original posting.  I also mentioned that I like to
debug my code until it will compile with no errors.  My program is rather simple
though, what if it had been more complex and used all sorts of pointers or
tricky-to-compile things.  Would I still be garaunteed that it would compile it
right if my code was syntatically correct?

Hmm....the 's' key?  In what program?  Netscape's search isn't done with the 's'
key, and besides, I don't see anyway to do a search through all the topics.  But
obviously you're not talking about the HTML version stored on  Delorie's site.  So
what file/app are you talking about?

I looked at them, but I couldn't find it.  Guess I wasn't looking for the right
word.  Like I said, Guess I'm just dumb.

Well, you could draw a picture!  ASCII art is always neat to look at :)

All in all thanks for your time.
Jason
PS Does anyone know why I keep getting this error that there is more included text
than new text?  I mean what is causing the error, Netscape or the News group?
