Ok, in the irc client, to handle the numerics from the server, the stack will 
start with one "if", end with an "end if", and have *600* "elsif" in between. 
Isn't that a little incredible? 

Robert, with a "execute var" and a "goto", i could extract the numeric value, 
then goto it. With smart code in the interpreter, or other error recovery, if
that
numeric isn't provided for, it simply returns"". 

Also, the inability to make variable names using data is going to be a 
smallish problem, when the irc client connects to two or more irc nets, has 
an http open, and tries to send an email or three to pops at two different isps 
at the same time. 
Recalling %connection. [ $+ [ %ircnet1 ] $+ . $+ [ %channel ] $+ . $+ [ 
%oplist ] ] 
is easier than looping thru all the possible variables untill the right tags are
found, then reading that data and exiting the loop. Faster too.
