Cute, Alan. I like it!

Jeff - thanks for the insight. I guess I think more in theory than in 
reality sometimes.

Kent - thanks for your help.

Okay, I guess it works. I'll just have to indirectly call str method instead 
of repr or something.
For all of you, I had a stroke of genius one day and wrote my own (limited) 
rational class and called it Fract (fraction)
