It's not so much a problem with the recursion, as it's a problem with *NOT* recursing. Here is the code I've written (I'm horribly embarassed by it...but I'm learning). If somebody could *please* take a look at it and get back to me asap, thanks. I'm having a huge headache debugging, and I'm sure it's because I don't know what I'm doing. I'm sure there's a much simpler way to do it. I beg of the monks to enlighten me.

If you could please send an email slavenz@exactis.com with any assistance you might have (as well as post it here...I'm just going to see it sooner in my mailbox).

Thank you muchly,
Sam
