Stephe (Nah doesn't work)
I certainly agree as far as to say this part of the language construct
is broken, but then I hate having to declare
a temp var for no purpose at all but to remove ambiguity in references

Hi Neve :)
I'm not one of the many who don't use the with statement at all, but I only
use it sparingly and never nested 3 levels deep like the example. I usually
end up removing it during debug sessions anyway and kick myself for using it
in the first place.
I think your mate Malcolm Groves sums it up best in his article a few years
back:
http://www.malcolmgroves.com/stories/2004/04/05/writingSolidDelphiCode.html
(Under the heading "Hard to see, the Dark Side is" about 2/3 down the page.)

(I guess because like the with statement it saves a little typing and one
syllable)

The advantage of enumerated types is strong compiler type
checking. Ie
no spelling/keying mistakes.
If you use the normal convention for enumerated types, .e.g
MyStayus = (msActive, msPending, msEnded ) etc
Then you can use a function and RTTI to convert the
enumerated type
name into a string for display. There is a RTTI function
that returns
the name of an enumerated type e.g. "msActive", and then
your function
can strip off the leading lowercase characters.
Myles.
