I'm inclined to say it either shouldn't be documented, or it should be documented as an undocumented behavior. I don't think this is something that should cause backward compatibility problems later, since there's no good reason for it to behave the way it is now (other than it's too slow to make it behave "correctly").
I'd opt for it being documented as an undocumentend / unstable behavior since had this thread not come up, I'd never have thought about if this was the "correct" way to handle namespace variables. It was just something I discovered and later started to use. There's no question, that if it where possible and feasable to present each conn a "clean plate" that that would be the correct thing to do. In fact, it would probably in the long run lead to more robust code since there would be fewer global temporary variables. Each package/module could hide them away in its own namespace instead of using akward prefixes (at least that's how I do it now). -- Olaf -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
