Thank you Mike, for the good example. BTW, what is xsl:do?

I've heard horror stories of an XSLT processor completely discarding an xsl:variable and then re-evaluating it. In such case even a monadic implementation will not help -- there must be something to tell the processor not to discard and "recreate" a certain variable, because evaluating its value causes a side-effect. In the absence of the ability to express that a variable is of type IO a this would be the way to say it. ===== Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ -- the home of FXSL __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
