So, correct me if I'm wrong, but with the proposed set of rules: "If you don't want spaces, don't put them in." With the other proposal: "If you don't want newlines, don't put 'em in." (I'm not ignoring the other proposals just juxtaposing these two.) I don't see a substantive difference other than that I lose the ability to do verbatim formatting with the former. bob Robert Streich streich@slb.com Schlumberger voice: 1 512 331 3318 Austin Research fax: 1 512 331 3760
