1. proc_id ... foiled again!

I wanted to use the syntax: class( "window" ) element( "x", "integer" ) element( "y", "integer" ) element( "bitmap", "pixmap" ) where element() would be able to look up the type() routine for a = user-defined datatype (such as pixmap). Foolish me - as usual, the requirement that any routines be defined = *before* the routine that uses routine_id thwarted me. This is just one of *many* times when I've wanted to use proc_id() in = procedures, but have been blocked by this "must be defined first" = requirement. Please, just require that routine names passed to proc_id = be declared as global, or create a global_id() routine. Thanks. -- David Cuny
