Thank you Richard,
Yes, I studied your well written guide before I decided what I wanted
to do. The Hungarian and I could just not see eye-to-eye, and I was
never that good with foreign languages --just a little Latin and
Spanish;-) I read my code "out loud" in my head, and I could not get
past the silent t,g,p etc., in every variable name, so I decided to
put them at the end where I could just stop pronouncing at the end of
the word --that seemed natural for me, kind of like name.txt. I also
tried to simplify things to the absolute essentials for my needs. I
doubt that anyone will have trouble reading my scripts any more than
if I used no tags at all, which is what I am doing now. Perhaps a
few other inventive users who have forsaken all tags (for the same
reasons that I have) can see themselves clear to using a version of
the style like I am hammering out for my personal use. You know how
it is with us inventors --yes, I really am one. Besides, I could
probably write a script that would read in my script style and spit
it back out in Hungarian if I really needed it to. Perhaps we could
make it an official BabelFish translation. LOL

There's a huge body of xTalk code published over the years by
authors who use most of what's been documented here:
<http://www.fourthworld.com/embassy/articles/scriptstyle.html>
Much of the style you documented is very similar, such as differing
in placing the "g" at the end rather than the more common practice
of putting it at the beginning.
Of course one's own personal style is, well, personal, and the rest
of us can keep our personal opinions to ourselves. But if you plan
on trading code with others you might find it easier for author and
reader alike to adopt widely-used conventions.
