The advice is false. However, perhaps what they should have said is that *after* you "with" System, you may still need to refer to it via "Standard.System" if the name "System" by itself is hidden by something declared inside the current compilation unit. > ...

That won't help much if Standard is hidden :-) -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Package ASCII is the only predefined package that is nested within Standard and doesn't need (or allow) a with clause.
