Oh, that's neat.  Not worth putting into my little project, but I've 
bookmarked that on for when I need a lot of cases.  It also shows how to 
define a class - that was something I had wondered about, but not yet 
tackled.

I'm really grateful for the answers I have received.  It will take me a 
while to get my head around some of the less obvious code fragment that 
folk have kindly posted, but I will play around with all of them in due 
course.  Already the code I am playing with has shrunk to about half the 
number of lines it was before I joined this list and I'm even more than 
ever impressed with the language.  I also like the fact that it can be 
played with as an interpreted language.  Compiling and debugging c code 
could be a pain at times.  In Python, a few print statements together 
with the syntax error messages from the interpreter make it very easy to 
see what's happening.

Kind regards,        Barry.
