>Nah, we did that in Forth too. ...and Assembler, but my opinion on the matter is that everything in Rexx ought to act like Rexx. It should be consistent. I can't imagine anything uglier than having some parts of the language be 1-based and other parts be 0-based. That situation would cause far more programming errors than having to make a mental adjustment ever would. Programmers don't choose to work in a particular language based on how similar it is to something they already know, do they? They choose to work in a language because in their opinion its the best-fit tool for their current needs, or maybe because they want to learn something new.
