We have used @@ for years with no issues that we are aware of. Though
we are
religious about making sure to use a scope with everything...
@@request$myvar ....

Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Upgrading from Witango 5.0 to Witango 5.5 -
Syntax Errors
When exactly were we as developers told not to use the @@ shorthand? I
missed that update and have been using it for the past 8 years. I just
checked with the 5.5 Programmer's Guide and it still gives examples
using that shorthand.
Just curious...
