How could it be _unknown_? That would mean delete would have to do some weird shit to the list structure while returning the well- defined result. What are you really getting at? This subthread got derailed because you made a claim that is just plain wrong. Please ignore it, don't try to defend it, and get back to your real issue. #:Erik -- If this is not what you expected, please alter your expectations.
