 * Hi folks – me again.
    I want to use (unless theres a better function) is_category.
   But is there a way to pass several categories to check at once – excuse the rubbish
   code – its just the concept : elsif is_categoty(1,2,3,4,5) ; do something; else;
   for the other cats – do something else How do i write that? Thanks
