I switched to "help me" mode long before I should have because I was under pressure of time. >global variables have to be declared in functions. It's a basic fact, and >should've been learned before even attempting a line of code... In fact, the function in question /already/ had a bunch of my own variables declared global in it... I thoughtlessly jumped to the conclusion that the install was at fault because i have reason not to trust it. My other point still stands though (I think) - that marking a variable as "global" to "pull it in to scope" is a clunky, ass-backwards way of doing things. djo
