I'd wager the original poster wants to jump to a specific rule and not just arbitrarily +5 or something. Would a better idea be having the ability to assign a label to a specific rule? That way you could jump to the label and not just N rules. This way you could change the ruleset and not fubar the skips. -- swb@grasslake.net Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.
