I see Frank - yet another case of me not reading what someone had written - it is a bad habit of mine.

I'm just trying to think if I have ever found basic (or other code) funny but I can't think of an example. On the other hand, I can think of several occasions where I have cursed and sworn at it (and the PC, Bill Gates and anything else I could think of). Failing to properly assign pointers used to be my favourite trick when I dabbled with Turbo Pascal - horrible things!
