You talking to me? You's talking to me? or Staz? :)

I just leave it on. I haven't ever worried about it that much. The Staz
spec for submitted code examples is for them to include Call, that is one
reason.

Didn't mean for you to feel singled out, but could see how you might feel
that way.

You raise some good points, but them's for Staz Software to iron out.
"CALL" him collect. :) (I see now where RP has transferred the thread over
to the Beta list)

Anyway, if I upset you, accept my apologies. I like the CALL being there
myself because it reminds me I am reaching into the external toolbox bag of
tricks.

Plus when you read or write the code outside the editor, it is easier to
distinguish them then too. Maybe I am just used to them.

This mean you don't want your points anymore?
