Well my code has nothing to do with filtering. It's all about retrieving
a default value if one is not set in response to the poster to which I
replied. But yes, I was hasty with it in my eternal lack of wisdom, and
of course forgot about scalars. For the record, I am indeed in favour of
something that allows the choice of a value from a series of values for
which some may not be set-- without the generation of not set warnings
:)

On that note, how comes there's a $GLOBAL array and not a $LOCAL array
for vars declared in the immediate scope :)

Cheers,
Rob.
