Re: suggestion sequence section
Kat,
nothing is set in concrete yet.
We have been discussing things in detail.
In the next day or so I'll be introducing another discussion topic -
namingly run time evaluation of code that is in strings or files.
Other topic still to be discussed include GOTO, Labels, Case statements, and
many others.
We are building (slowly) a language specification. From that, we hope to
encourage people to create implementations of the language.

cheers,
Derek Parnell
