Steve,

Wow, way too much time on your hands.

My first goal was to get my pics to display, then get rid of the . and
..., now I will fix the code to the example you gave before if you say
it's faster. Then,(light drumroll...), I want to read everything in
thumbs and create my output so I get the thumbto link to a larger pic
in images. Some sort of anchor tag thing. THAT would be cool to me.
Then I can rewrite about 20 pages, export 20 albums as thumbs and 20
albums as images...

I'm going to make my anchor tag...

thx..ron
