I heartily second that recommendation, Sandy--thanks. This kind of notation is used in other languages, like C, as well. It's called Hungarian notation, because the guy who developed it was Hungarian. You can develop your own method, or I'm sure you can find info on the Web (jut go to www.google.com and type in "Hungarian Notation.") Some common prefixes we use: p = property g = global l = list s = string f = float i = integer o = object You can combine them like Sandy did. ps means a property that is a string, pl means a property that is a list. You can get pretty fancy with them--if you do, I recommend that you include a comment block at the beginning of your code explaining the system you use. Irv Kalb has posted his system, which I like. Warren Ockrassa, who isn't on this list, has written a book that McGraw-Hill is publishing soon, and he devotes a couple pages to Hungarian notation.
