Chris,

I tried placing in the format you suggested and received this error message=
:

END PROGRAM.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 396, in <module>
ValueError: incomplete format key

is work? I know there are ways to wrap strings, including lists of variable=
s, but here I have a statement/function. At what point are you wrapping it?=
 Can you show the wrapped form and the error message? As a general rule, yo=
u can safely wrap anything that's inside parentheses. for ( var1, var2, var=
3 ) in zip( Variable1, Variable2, Variable3 ): pass That may be a tad exces=
sive, but you get the idea :) ChrisA
