Hear, hear! Apologies to Ray if necessary, but the names .IF .ELSE and .THEN are, IMHO, brain-dam---er---less than optimal. If I were voting, I'd say [IF] [ELSE] etc. BTW, since I haven't seen this proposal: 1. are these words nestable? 2. can these words range across multiple screens linked with --> ? 3. can these be used both in compile and interpret "state"? - Brad ----- This message came from GEnie via willett.
