I was trying to explain _why_ you couldn't do what you want to do, as are other posts here (including the examples of Mr. Thomas and Mr. Decoux, who each know far more about Ruby than both of us put together I'm sure :)). If all you want is a yes/no answer, I'm sure people here can accomodate you, but I personally would rather know why I can't do something rather than simply knowing I can't. - Dan
