The function will check two lines, and if they connect it'll tell you so. (hit 1 to move point one with the mouse, 2 to move point 2, and on up to point 4....) What I'd like it to do, though, is find out WHERE they connect.. So, a puzzle.. What are the co-ords at point #5. You can either have 2 globals "MeetX,MeetY" and get the function to place them in there, or have 2 versions of the function to each get X and Y results.. ... The easier one would be the 2 globals method.. I'm sure there's a really really easy way to do this, but my brains slightly melted, today, so I can't seem to figure it out. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

shroom_monk	The first thing that comes into my head when I think of this is an equation. If you know the equation for the two lines, you could use an equation to figure it out. Well, at least on paper - I'm not sure about how you'd program it! But say you knew that Line 1 was y=2x+5 and Line 2 was y=x+10, you could say: 2x+5=x+10 2x=x+5 x=5 Then, since x=5, y=(2*5)+5, so y=15. Thus, the co-ords of Point 5 are (5,15). -=-=- A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away... Keep It Simple, Shroom!
