[ 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. )

[ Getting File Size ]

    seek_success = seek(file_i, -1)
    return where(file_i)
    -- *ERROR* On Next Line
                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.
