Another way of writing this is to modify the syntax. For ERPS' test checklists, instead of action items, I used states. SET <gadget> TO <state>. So it would be Ensure parachute is packed Ensure parachute ignitors are assembled Verify wind is at a reasonable level Ensure water supply etc. I don't know if syntax matters when executing a checklist, but state-based logic helped me when I was writing it. -R -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The only time an aircraft has too much fuel on board is when it is on fire." -Sir Charles Kingsford Smith _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
