Proc predates Pick BASIC as a programming language. The short answer (to my mind) is that Paragraph is an add-on to Access/English/AQL/Retrieve, but Proc is really a scripting language. If you need to automate procedures, tie complex programs into a batch, or do other heavy lifting, Proc is great. The problem that gets all these Proc haters on their soapbox isn't Proc, its when people use Proc for the wrong tasks (like Proc menus instead of parametric menus). Proc really is incredibily powerful and well worth knowing, but it shouldn't be used for 9-% of the tasks it is normally associated with in the Pick world.
Personally, I rtarely use Paragraph because I need to port software.
