That would work also, but it slows down programming, because you have to
type those long words, and search them up if you don't rememeber them. So I
rather write numbers and then I have to look in my comments for where
something is saved in sequence (my artificial structures). Without those
comments I would be lost!
Look how simple is in Visual Basic: you type   "my."  and then it shows you
listbox from where you can select which member of structure you want. That's
super duper fast!
We will never have this luxury in Euphoria until we have structures.
