Hi Andreas, BIND can be used to program e.g. a WITH function like with object [do something] I don't remember all cases where I used BIND. One case I recently actualized was when I tried to circumvent the limitations of RETURN and function attributes. To describe the usage of BIND there: I defined (locally) the functions called RETURN', THROW' and EXIT' having different behaviour, than their native counterparts. Then I supposed, that a user would supply a code block using the above words. I used BIND to give the meaning to the words supplied from outside. When I think about it now, I could do it without BIND using the USE function only, but it would be less readable at least. -Ladislav -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.
