Arrgg, you are right, here i have been using RDS's programming language 
instead of writing my own. And on an OS i didn't write too. Shoot, the puter 
boots with a bios i didn't write! We should have a totally new language written 
everytime you or i or David Cuny or Bernie or Derek or Chris or Igor writes a 
new include file, which should be scrambled and shrouded! I wonder how 
many new unique ways there are to reverse engineer puts(),, using Rob's 
code to print something to the screen has got to be the worst of laziness.

I agree, this is a basic functionality. Again, if we had dostring() in Eu, we 
could put code into the database, and possibly have it execute when read. 
To me, this is also basic functionality,, it's in other languages and database 
programs. Like this database entry for "time", for example, which works 
nicely:

time= <exec> /msg %haldef.chan <mirccolor12> The date and time here is: 
<mirccolor2> $gettok($asctime,1-3,32) $gettok($asctime,5,32) 
<mirccolor12> $atime

And i wrote it myself, euman!
