In fact it should be a compulsory read for anybody serious about Euphoria. Unfortunately it has one or two glaring omissions, and it is also slightly misleading, I feel, at the point where it deals with the 'short circuit' evaluation. It fails to mention this evaluation is currently unoptimized (see Rob's recent note) and it can be considerably slower than 'chained' equivalents. I realize, this sort of thing does not make any perceptible difference in a vast majority of cases, but it can be a very frustrating, wasteful experience, if you are trying to push the envelope. jiri
