Plus, it promotes the naming of variables like "var", >"evnt", etc. Interesting that my experiance is exectly opposite. Almost all programmer I worked with or watched their work, who were typing fast produced poor code (may be with comments, but often redundant or meaningless). I believe they (usually) just don't have enough time to think. I personally sometimes write comments just to think one more time trough just written code (or code I'm going to write). It helps find bugs (even in design) and sometimes find better solution. --------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Furman, (603)893-1109 Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc. fax:(603)889-3984 13 Klein Drive - P.O.
