Speaking of Sbasic... Wouldn't it be nice to avoid 'word clashes' by following some kind of convention? Interesting. I've been thinking about the same thing recently. And not just confined to clashing toolkits. By extending SBASIC in an uncontrolled manner you run the risk of older programs

A solution would be to have a core set of commands always present in the system and others loaded as independant modules to meet local requirement. Old extensions present only for compatibility would also became a module (toolkit ?) to avoid usage in future. But we need someone/somewhere an

What is needed is some way to load toolkits locally to a particular instance of SBasic rather than as system wide global settings. As to whether anyone could think of a way to enhance SBasic to achieve this is another matter. Dave - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL
