Okay, thanks for putting it that way. I can understand that. Now what
I would like to know is why if the VID dialect is not able to handle a
particular issue is it not passed back up the tree to the root
interpreter? That would be the ideal situation so one could then
mix/match /core and VID syntax at any time and place (see also PERL,
ARexx, etc..).
