That seems to indicate it's not used anymore. I got nosy and searched for variable names which were not used anywhere in the code. I found 93 names (and some more functions). Before I post all these names in which libraries do I also have to look for usage of variables? I can't believe that so much variables should be garbage. KP --=20 "But it has nothing to do with what a _value_ is. This has to do with whether you pass whatever-a-value-is or wherever-whatever-is-a-value-is whenever you pass an argument to a function.
