Hi Brian,

Thanks for mentioning this. I forgot to mention that I pretty much came
to the same conclusion regarding vars. I suspect that this "added"
flexibility just might come in handy, however, when you borrow bits
and pieces of code that someone else has written. Particularly when
there are several functions that work together and need to share some
vars - and you don't have to worry about updating your "project globals".
Probably sloppy programming, but - IN THE PAST - basic was notorious
for "sloppy", since it was used by so many "amateurs". Of course, we
FB Programmers are NEVER sloppy or amateur!  *-}
