wtd.. why do u try to make thigns so complicated for no reason>??? this is mainly for begineers to spruce up their progies to make em look cool.. 

but ur rite.. its a imrovement.. in case u wanted to add to programs without a bunch of code.. u coudl easily turn that into a .tu..

anyways....  wereu talkjing to me shadow....?? cuz... really.. i post cool things i make.. that i think will benefit the begineers..* see my thread about cool ways to clear screen..
