To the compiler, it's the same, but some people prefer to bind stuff explicitly to nil, if nil is what the variable is supposed to be, as opposed to implicitly binding it to nil to signal that it's going to get its real value further ahead. So it's a style issue. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
