Kassen the Kind! Your help is appreciated and
the advice has been acted upon. I had signed
up for the list but was waiting for it to stir awake.

I believe mobile phones tend to have the Java nature to a larger degree then
the Python nature.

Er..that is no more true, eversince Nokia opened up the Symbian platform to
Python. See
you on the ChucK users list.

warm regards!
