You're welcome.

As a side note: You quoted the *entire* digest at the bottom of your
mail. It's a good idea not to do this for a number of reasons:

 1. We've all seen those mails

 2. It all just got dumped in the archive:
 http://mailman.linuxchix.org/pipermail/courses/2002-December/001069.html

 3. All the people who get the digest are going to get it again now that
 you quoted it.

 4. It's rather a lot of bandwidth, sending that out to the hundreds of
 list members.

Good luck with your programming :)
