Lets clarify; not the code you write to make the IDE but the code the IDE generates is the issue here?

Clearly the *ONLY* problem with too many globals is the cluttering of the global namespace; accidentally re-using, clashes with 3rd party include files, etc. But I assume all these global names are strictly under your control. Replacing <var> with <proc> just adds code? So I would suggest sticking with global vars, unless you have a scheme to reduce the number of globals needing to have a name, somehow... >Also=20 <snip>; sorry, no idea. Pete
