thankyou everybody thats a great help

Now just the last question "what is flag"

[paddywak]

Flag can mean several things depending on context
a stone used in paving
a banner
to tire
a flower
the fringe of hair on some dogs (such as setters) tail
to bookmark something
I'm sure their must be more but I hopes this gives you some ideas

Thankyou paddywak
I am really stuck on this one. I don,t know what to do on this question. I have seen all the obvious but I am not sure. It's a strange question isn't it.
