What if an Ada-oriented editor were to flag dotted names such that they could be made visible or not? You have to type them in initially (solves the problem of having to parse files that may not be complete yet) but you can toggle them on/off and see which way makes the code more clear. I'll have to cogitate on that one for a while..... Maybe some of the tool-writers are listening? :-) MDC -- ============================================================= Marin David Condic - Quadrus Corporation - 1.800.555.3393 1015-116 Atlantic Boulevard, Atlantic Beach, FL 32233 http://www.quadruscorp.com/ m c o n d i c @ q u a d r u s c o r p . c o m ***PLEASE REMOVE THE "-NOSPAM" PART OF MY RETURN ADDRESS*** Visit my web site at: http://www.mcondic.com/ "Because that's where they keep the money." -- Willie Sutton when asked why he robbed banks. =============================================================
