Hello again jbrown,

I guess what i had in mind was a way the interpreter could
use an include that was written during run time, that wasnt 
already a part of the bound exe.
I guess this would bring in still yet another function like
uninclude file1.ew
or something like that, so that you could use the same name
over again:

WriteNewIncludeFile("file1.ew",1)
include file1.ew
DoStuffWithNewFile()

uninclude file1.ew
WriteNewIncludeFile("file1.ew",2)
include file1.ew
DoStuffWithNewFile()

Sound interesting to anyone?

Take care for now,
Al
