I agree. 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.)
