That is the reason why I haven't taken to PG as well.
It has its benefits, but...

Anyhow, I use Local FN too. Never use GOSUB. I do use GOTO though for 
cheap exits. :)

I was just saying that even on a fast machine, speed of execution still 
matters.

The only place where speed of execution isn't an issue is in Texas.
