For example, I might take 5 or 6 swings at kolold or jackal or whatever and get nowhere. But by stepping back a step or two and trying again I'd kill it in one or two tries. I'm not claiming the code is written to do this, just that I've noticed it. keith ericson at teklabs ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
