1. RESP : Short Circuiting, File Size (LogicalErr), File Naming
[ Short Curcuiting ]
I vote No!!! I would prefer
if this_is_a[long][name] >1 or < 30 then
end if
so the < 30 would also compare to this_is_a[long][name]
and
sequence s
if s = "Hello" then
end if
to improves if.
( Still baracking for the requires <version/platform> keyword. )

close file_i
end function
"
file_i will never close and it should be close(file_i).
reducing you precious file handles even more.

Go into WordPad create a file and try and save as something.diz. Guess what? It
gets saved as somthing.diz.txt as Word Pad simplely tacks on the .txt ending.
Don't you love Windows '95. I find 3.11 better than 95 hands down.

Actually there is a fix out there for this problem. I can save things as
x.txt or x.exe and it works just fine...of course my system is setup with
iexplore 4.0 to look like win 98 also.

This problem has occured twice, so to keep it from happening again,
here's what you do:
Save as:
"something.diz"
^ ^ this time you actually INCLUDE the double quotes! :)
Then it will listen to what you want, instead of do what it thinks best.
(Oh yeah, do same thing for mouse.zip. Save as "mouse.zip" WITH the
double quotes....)
