 Mervyn,
 
 Honestly, did not try to show you a better way. I did not know that you had
 posted anything.
 
 It is one scenario I see now and then. I open the newsgroup and scan for new
 messages, there were none. Anyway the earlier message from ken looked
 interesting and I came up with a simple solution after having spent some time to
 fight with the new number() object.
 
 My message was posted, and as usually I downloaded the newsgroup messages again
 to see if my answer were ok, and surprise, there were three new messages, one of
 them yours.
 
 I read somewhere that this may happen if my ISP only scans newgroups a few times
 every day.
