Irv,

Thanks for the info and support. Only one minor quibble. I'm not sure that I
ever want to get to instantiation, methods, and all that other fun
associated with object-oriented programming. I would just like to allow this
beautiful little procedural language to take on just enough extensions to
allow clean and easy usage of pre-existing code and libraries. Objects are
like Lil' Abners schmoos(if any of you are old enough to remember those :);
they multiply everywhere, they are many times of completely unknown and
unknowable content, and they encourage laziness(in this case in
programming).
