Aha! (Or, more correctly, a-ha.) Now I understand. BTW, the first line above is a rather pleasing little bit of Jameld, meaning simply "Tal the storyteller told (said)"... Rather fortuitous, although it's made me wonder whether the 'tal' bit in Taliesin has anything to do with stories, tales etc. ========================================================================= james@zolid.com James Campbell Zeugma--Our Life Is Design www.zolid.com When I arrive in Memphis, I'll put a sign out on the door: "It's OK to disturb me, that's what I came here for."
