Weston L Registered 16/12/2002 Points 1603	9th March, 2004 at 15:18:57 - Why didn't I? Well first it's important to know how to use these basic calculations for example, what if one day I wanted to do: (value("current score" )/3)^(value("other counter") - 3 And also, the little amount of webspace my question took up on TDC is not something to be too concerned about. 157 bytes. Thanks for your help by the way. Edited by the Author. n/a

Less code than using loops, and would no doubt be faster since I'm pretty sure it would have been programmed to use CPU processes rather than relying on a loop within the software itself. It's up to you, personally I dont like using extensions made by other people, but it does make things easier Mike "Now I guess we're... 'Path-E-Tech Management'" -Dilbert
