Hi David, I know it´s pretty tiresome playing a game in which the other guy doesn´t know the rules. Truth is, I`m just trying to learn from this forum, which I think is very good, excellent. Now, my knowledge of c++ programming is rudimentary. Not a single person was born knowing all about it, and it´s really tough being bombarded with info which I don´t know how to use, yet. Anyway, thanks to all who answered.
