I started out putting all of my new scripts at the bottom of the file. This
is what the JFW Scripting Manual recommends in an early chapter. But then,
when I got to the sixth homework exercise in that manual, I found that I
couldn't get the function I was writing to compile successfully. As I
learned, two chapters later in the manual, functions which are being called
should appear *before* the function or script that is calling them. If the
called function comes later in the file than the calling script, you may get
compiler errors. The one I got complained that I had defined a variable as
INTEGER, even though I had defined it as STRING.
To summarize: (1) putting scripts at the end of a file makes a lot of
sense, unless they are being called by something else. In that case, they
should be ahead of the calling function. (2) Beware of this, when doing the
homework in the JFW manual, if you get complaints as to variables being
defined as INTEGER when you didn't define any as such.
