Please. Stop, I beg of you, please stop. Look, normally I can subject my messages with [NEWBIE][CODE], too. But you've been on this list a while, and I've seen several references to grep just recently. Grep is a Unix command where the first arguement is a string of characters you wish to search for. The second is the file(s) you wish to search. I'll tell you what has been told to me a thousand times: "Go buy a C book." A unix book isn't too bad either. Before I found the nifty class.doc at the ftp site, I went into my src directory, and typed in this: "grep WARRIOR * > warrior.loc" This search all the src files for accurances of "WARRIOR", and then put the output into a file named warrior.loc(ations) so I could brouse it and see it over and over again without having to occupy a window just with that. As I went through the reference, I could erase them from warrior.loc if I deserned(sp) that they weren't what I was looking for or I adjusted what I needed to do. This is also a wonderful way to get an idea of where all the commands are going. This post is not just intended for Shaw J (hope I got the name right, don't have it in front of me), any new coder like us can use this information. Any time you want to change something, just search the src files and maybe autorun for occurances of however the code refers to it. Then, if you don't understand what you see, by all means post away. I think this command, however, can and should be treated like a RTFM or RTFF topic. Use it first, then ask.
