>>Does anybody have a function that converts a range of values into individual values? The best example, I think, is the range of pages in newer versions of MS-Word, where the user can type "1, 3-5, 7". I want this converted to a form that can easily be processed, like the string "1, 3, 4, 5, 7", or an array or cursor with the corresponding elements.

OK, I'll try it. Actually, when I wrote "difficult", I was thinking mainly about the string parsing. It isn't difficult in terms of commands required, but all the detail work, and checking invalid user input.
