oh yes -- there is one other feature that took a LONG time to get used to,
so i wrote another crutch: the compare() statement. i'd write:

   if a = b then ...

and the program would bomb because i was using sequences. so i'd write:

  if compare( a, b ) then

and the program would not work, because compare returns a zero. finally, i
wrote a function eq():

   function eq( object o1, object o2 )
      return not compare( o1, o2 )
   end function

and i could then write:

   if eq( a, b ) then ...

it certainly helped me while i was transitioning over from BASIC.
