I've thought about foreach and I don't really think that it needs to be added to the language because it can be done with a function or procedure. foreach(list_of_stuff, routine_id(some_action)) or list_of_stuff = foreach(list_of_stuff, routine_id(some_action)) --Prefer pass by reference or optimization of this case But it is something that could be helped by having pass by reference and an eval() function. One problem with a built-in foreach -- does it only iterate the top level of a sequence or does it dig down through sub sequences? I think that is one reason to leave it as a procedure or function. ===================================== Too many freaks, not enough circuses. j.
