Hi David, "Stepwise Refinement" sounds like just another term for "forward references". A bit like "top-down" modular development. All very good, proven ways to develop high quality software. Pity Euphoria hasn't got it. Even a pseudo forward reference scheme like 'C' function headers would be appreciated. I can imagine something like... forward doLine(sequence, atom) function Indexer() where = gets(1) result = doLine(where, 34) end function function doLine(sequence aLine, integer Posn) . . . end function ---- cheers, Derek
