I tend t o think that the reason for this might lie in the fact that it is a few degrees more difficult to add these directions than just the basic four. The main reason is that you have to account for two possible different ways of typing the direction out (northeast or ne for example). All is not lost, however, there is a very good (well, I'm a bit prejudiced) snippet for adding the additional directions available here... http://developer.circlemud.org/1999/08/28/0728258.shtml Regards, Peter -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
