Hi Joe:

I actually discovered that fact too by adding additional numbers to my loop
(actually 15 more cds with 100 colors each til the end).  But the problem is
why does the number of lines of colornames() yield fewer?  The number of
lines of colornames yields 552, but there look to be about 2000'ish
colornames?

My suspicion is that this is related to associative array with same name
issues but not sure.  More importantly how ahead of time would I structure
the loop to take me to the end?  Perhaps a while not "" I guess?  Thanks
Joe!
