I didn't think of this before (I'm not sure why), but in my compiler project, one thing that really bothers me is that when I enter expressions in "programmer mode" evaluating them generally requires a linear search through a series of tables representing nested scopes. This inefficiency can be avoided when the whole program is compiled at once, but not when it is entered a line at a time at the programmer prompt. Anyway, I've been exploring various possible solutions, and it occurs to me that the problem is really not unlike what you describe. Perhaps I need my own "whole file cross-reference"! === Gregory Woodhouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "It is foolish to answer a question that you do not understand." --G.
