Unfortunately, when you are the only one looking at your code for months on end, comments become...not "unnecessary"... maybe more of an unneeded use of time. This is especially true since we don't have companies breathing down our necks to follow some methodology and add comments. All during college I would hack a program together and add comments after I'd gotten it working. They've always been an afterthought. Maybe it's bad, but old habits are hard to break. Still, when something is labeled a "tutorial" you'd expect a little more documentation... Scott
