Thanks for the comment :)

I read a bunch of different examples before I posted. Its hard for me to ask the right questions when I don't know the terminology. Understanding the variables is my biggest issue atm, which i'm slowly grasping through trial and error. I've read lots, but at this point in time, I can't grasp how to do the stuff I do in LUA.

My apologies if a question seems out in left field, but if you look at the mashing of code that I produce, you'd laugh your head off(seriously) So I try to clean it up so it just represents the question I have :)

This last question, yes my code was completely redundant, but thats how i've always built my arrays. I couldn't have found that out without asking, no tutorial on the internet would have said so. Nor would I have found out that I should be using the @ instead of % as the tutorial was telling me(logically, I like @ more and my instinct told me to use it, but the tutorial said otherwise) I'm amazed that Monk saw my code as I posted and deleted it quickly because it was a mess...

Learning Perl and Intermediate Perl, I'll see what I can learn from them. Its frusterating that i'm not a 'beginner' at coding, but I am in Perl syntax. The easy books are too easy and anything heavier is too complex *gasp*

Thank-you again, much appreciated as always :)
