Actually, on a further note about this...
The best way that I have seen to deal with this is to declare each variable
individually..

for example...

sequence aSeq           aSeq={}
sequence bSeq           bSeq={}
atom          aAtom         aAtom=0
atom          bAtom         bAtom=0


This also falls into the readability discussion as well..
with this convention you can see clearly how each var is initialized, and
you can
modify to your hearts content..

All true, but it becomes burdensome:

global constant X0 = 42
global constant X1 = 305
..
global constant x127 = 61

and like that. That's why we were given the ability to put 'em in a
comma-separated list in the first place.

Given the choice of declaring each item separately or dealing with the
irregularities in the use of commas, as is often the case I might be willing
to do more typing if it will make life easier overall.

Glad you broght up that alternative.

George
