Hi Dar, If there are more folks on this List interested in support for these features, we could jointly produce a complete list of suggested syntax and present it to the Xtalk List for consideration. I think there are many possible terms, and the more people who participate and offer suggestions, the more likely a viable syntax will emerge. The feature I find most difficult to convert to Xtalk is data structure notation and reference, which, by implication, requires explicit variable typing. -- Rob Cozens CCW, Serendipity Software Company http://www.oenolog.com/who.htm "And I, which was two fooles, do so grow three; Who are a little wise, the best fooles bee." from "The Triple Foole" by John Donne (1572-1631) _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
