I have not been sucessful in finding this information out anywhere else. Thanks for your assistance.

I've seen the type of game you're talking about, but can't remember what they called it. *********************************************************** [mantle e] Hrmph--I shall stake my claim to second place in the International Linguistics Symposium Boggle Playoffs...
