I REALLY like Thingy! And a very Pythonesque choice it would be ... :^) Python Thingies and Perl Thingies. How nice to be so connotationless! ... but maybe not so connotationless ... recalling the usage of "thingy" in the Python, Monty oeuvre ("YOU know ... THINGY!!") ... you might want to consider Tame Snake Sex, and Wild Snake Sex, so then you have Documents, Templates, and Sex Python Sex vs. Perl Sex? ... wow, just think of it! Of course, alibis about working late would have to be carefully worded ... Sorry ... it's late on a Friday ... but I DO like Thingy! :^) Cheers, -- Steve. oo _\o \/\ \ / ____________________________________________ oo _________________ "Sometime you're the windshield; sometime you're the bug." - Knopfler Stephen C.
