I was shooting it off of the top of my head, the code is on the student
network which I do not have access to from home.  Anyway, there was an
assignment sign between the Info and {} for the dictionary.  I'll have to
look at the code again, but alas, I'm leaving town today (thursday) and ill
be gone for two weeks. so, I may just end up rewriting the code, because I
know that the idea will work, I can indeed put a list of dictionaries, so
I'll just rewrite it while im on the plane.  thanks guys, and next time ill
have the code with me
