While I see the benefits of allowing people to do powerful things with a programming language configuration, I see far bigger downsides, not the least of which is that suddenly end users need to learn a new programming language. And it's not about how "easy" it is to learn a new programming language, it is the fact that I have to learn the language at all. I just don't have time to mess around. If you come up with a configuration syntax that can keep it simple for most people, but allows you to plug in a configuration language for those that need one, you're onto a winner. But if you try and fix one group of people's problems by causing additional problems for another group of people, you've achieved nothing. Regards, Graham --
