Wow! That is off the planet! Thanks so much guys. Even though I've been messing with basic on and off since 1989, when I see some of the examples here I feel similar to when I watch some people playing guitar on youtube. Makes me wonder why i even try... BTW the purpose of this is to find anagrams in a long list of words. Thanks again.
