And in french, a prout can be define like 'the noise that is produced by somes people's bottom' (I hope that you understand what I mean). And so, I would like a better french word than Sprout for the monthly newsletter. But it means also another GIF as title. The problem is that reference to images are not in the XML file of sprout. So I can't point to another gif by myself. -- Vincent Brabant ---------------- http://www.netbeans.org/index_fr.html http://vbrabant-fr.skynetblogs.be
