If we add new words to the language, will the shrouding be affected? What if 
we got the api to the shrouder/binder,,, no, then we'd have the Complete 
Edition,,, but i *have* the complete edition! ummm.. So if we added a new 
word, or added to the syntax of an existing word,, my guess is it won't bind 
or shroud.. yeas/no ?

Ummm,, to get the code for the interpreting engine,, we haveto buy the 
translator too? Erk! I was hoping to not haveto do that till i made some 
money. <sigh> Especially since any code we add would not be to the 
registered complete editions, but only to the Public Edition,, which we may 
not be useing cause we wanted the features in the Complete Edition..
