Not really... you can use a constant in place of the routine #, plus you can use comments. constant SEEK = 19 machine_proc(SEEK, {fn, -1}) -- seek I wonder what routine this can be? Gee gosh uuhouh... I havent the slightest clue doc. It gets even easier once you memorize most or all the specific IDs for routines. The neat thing with machine_func is you can use machine_proc and ignore return values of functions! No need for any dummy "ignore" routines, or assigning variables. Of course if the routine is written entirely in Euphoria code & is long, then you would want to "include" it, instead of copying+pasting the whole routine into your application or library. > > > The documentation provided with Euphoria is excellent and you know it! > > C.htm/doc provide valid reasons why Euphoria is more productive than > > C/C++ in most cases, though some points might be repeated.
