I like knowing what can and what can't call each function, what variables and such can access each other. (Uh oh, this is sounding like OOP... "oop"s! ;) [Bad pun, had to do it. ;) ]) Besides, if you want to program the main routine(s) first, followed by the smaller routines then use the UP arrow key.... That's why it's there for. :) (That's what I do.) >Just my two and a half cents, Uh, this would be my quarter of a cent...
