Make a nice pair up with >goto. Everett, Believe me, we all already know you do not like gotos, routine-ids and peeks and pokes. The last three are just basic tools, integral parts that keep the rest of the language simple and uncluttered. I know campaigners like you almost never change their minds. But, please, just for a moment, forget all ivory tower dictates, go into the Archives and have a look around. You will find almost all significant / interesting contributions depend heavily on those basic tools. What are you trying to achieve anyway? Rob is not going to delete them from our vocabulary just because you keep hitting us with the structural programming bible. jiri
