I'm baffled as to how you could read both of my messages without seeing the bit in the first message where I explained that I had used [::-1] in a previous exercise (and chosen, for good reasons or bad, not to use it in this one), and then the bit in the second message where I repeated this information, carefully and briefly, because you seemed to have missed it the first time! I hope I'm not being rude, but I just don't know what else to say. I can't see that I'm at fault here. If I am, please explain. -- Angus Rodgers _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
