Quite recently. I use it all the time. ;-) On topic.... To be honest, I dislike the term "subprogram" to mean a *piece* of a complete program. To me "program" implies a sense of completeness I don't find in a sub-routine/function/method/whatever. As an Ada nuub, I'm still in the mental translation "subprogram" == "function" phase, and it's ever so slightly jarring. (Back off topic....In the language I designed I called'm "Actors".
