Sorry John, I didn't realise this was a mailing list as opposed to a forum. As for learning Ruby, I simply don't have the time. We are putting together a free Ruby plugin for our software, but it's taken so much time already that we're about to drop it. I've come here to get quick and accurate answers from experienced users. I can see how this would be annoying on a mail list, so again I apologise. Bihal -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
