Hi Rolf,

>Hi all English understanding folks on this list!

Why only "English understanding folks" for programming ?

Do you remember Babel's intention ?
We have what we have now.
We just live under times of Babylon now.

I understand your points very well, but I know excellent
expert in the area of other science (non computer area)
who is absolutely *dull* in foreign languages, but wants
use computer and programming in his job very much.
He is real END USER. EUPHORIA is his language.

There are about 360 persons in this list, why some
of them don't write to us ? Think please.

Then, switching among different native languages
for programming language doesn't require any
translations or transcribeings (is it correct?),
you just change one table to another.
The inner *order* of key words in these tables is
important, not sense of these words.
Try red.ex for idea.

I think John is correct, and I like this idea
of preprocessor, editor is ready.

Igor Kachan
