Frankly, I have been using the word for years to mean 'to put something on the front of', sort of the opposite of append. However, when pressed I could not find the word in any dictionary I own. What about you? Do you use the word? Is it a word? Please reply by mail. I will post reply if there is enough interest. - Rob Stampfli (cbosgd!res) -- Robert Stampfli
