no doubt you thought of it before ,and been asking "why the hell i must do it that way ,its just a single number case" . well ,i found that experimenting on [Dict] inside JS deprive some message formatting issues . And when you are retrieving a value or a couple , you dont need to ROUTE any additional messages as directory or keys , just data is returned . fun

So far coll has been my tool for handling large quantities of data (or sometimes jitter) and I was discovering the options with dict. To make good use of it your suggestion of doing stuff inside JS is well taken. Thanks
