"Arts" doesn't seem like it to me. OK, how about "humanities"? If it's synonyms you want, let's see what Roget has to offer: ---------- humanities \fIculture\fR 490 n. 490. Knowledge - N. \fIculture\fR, letters, literature; the humanities, the arts; education, instruction 534 n, \fIteaching\fR; civilization, cultivation, sophistication, acquirements, attainments, accomplishments, proficiency, mastery. \fIscience\fR, exact s., natural s., etiology, metascience; natural philosophy, experimental p.; technology; tree of knowledge, circle of the sciences, ologies and isms. ---------- Hm. Roget likes "arts" too :->. Anyway, it's more grist for the mill. -- _--_|\ Peter da Silva. +1 713 274 5180. . / \ \_.--._/ Xenix Support -- it's not just a job, it's an adventure! v "Have you hugged your wolf today?" `-_-'
