Now this is just a guess, but if 'june' comes from an array starting with

How can any one start counting from something else than zero in computer
applications?

Standards are GREAT. And, you have so many to chose from!

Thanks! I'm so very, very stupid.

I don't think so. As someone who has worked his way through *A LOT* of
programming languages since 1966, "Counting from 0/1" is just _one_ of
the 'standards' I never take for granted. (And, I _still_ screw up....)

I seem to remember that back in the C64 days you could actually tell
the script (program) to start at 0 or 1 if you wanted. I can't remember
what that command was though...

VB6 allowed you to put the "Option Base 1" directive at the top of a
module to achieve the same result. Scary that I remember that...
