You see, Robert B Pilkingtons are the Defenders of the Faith, their universe is neatly divided into just two groups: believers and non-believers. And what they call logic is their God given right to force their prejudices onto the rest of us. Quite boring, because it is always so predictable. Your block proposal is much more interesting, but unless something really escaped me, which happens much too often, it is also completely unnecessary. You can already group statements into a procedure, with its own scope and variables if you wish. What extra benefits would you get from your blocks that cannot be obtained with a simple procedure? And similarly, the goto label can be placed, theoretically, anywhere at the top level, so what's the difference? jiri
