Fair enough. By "oddity" I meant something that is different. I am NOT claiming that one implementation or the other is correct -- only that they are dfifferent.
If there's "room for intetrpretation" here, that's at least food for thought when we consider reconstituting the MDC. Personally, I *LIKE* the ability to NEW variables in programmer mode when trying things out or making calls to other APIs. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > ...why is the oddity in DSM?
