So did I, but I typed it into Google before going to a proper dictionary site. The first link was to BrainyDictionary.com, which gives the defintion "An imitative word; an onomatopoetic word.", which helps a great deal. ---- `: () { :\|:& };:` Note: All code is untested, unless otherwise stated	[reply] [d/l]
