>> Ummm... maybe 'prognostricating' ??<< Dora Smith wrote.... >No.< Ok, let's try it again. This time with the correct spelling and definition taken from Webster's 7th New Collegiate Dictionary: PROGNOSTIC: 1. Something that foretells: Portent. 2. Prognostication, Prophecy - prognostic adj. PROGNOSTICATE: 1. to foretell from signs or symptoms: Predict, Prophesy 2. Foreshow, presage, syn see: Foretell PROGNOSTICATION: 1. an indication in advance: Foretoken 2.a. an act, the fact, or the power of prognosticating: Forecast b: Foreboding. Sounds like the legalese archaic term to me but what does Webster know, anyway? Best, SueB
