Thanks for the CLU example. Seeing that "rep" keeps getting replaced with the array form reminded me that in C, at least, you can use macros to let you write code without worrying about what type the variable(s) are. However, mixing types (which will happen if you can't remember what you're doing) will put you at the mercy of the built-in conversion conventions. Is it safe to assume that every programmer remembers what type each variable is? I hope so .... mike k
