Took all of 5 seconds, I understand you're new but with a little practise at programming it wouldn't take much time at all to come up with something like that.
Also note that just because someone isn't new doesnt mean they cant post in the newcommers board, it is usually the most acceptable board to post any questions about programming, no matter what your rank, though sometimes the question may belong in Dark Basic or Dark Basic Proffesional.
Anyhoo goodjob eitherway, just tell us if it was made in GM if it was made in GM, no big deal.
