If they were keywords, something like system.integer wouldn't be possible. The question is wrong btw: you've to ask why string is a keyword. And this can be answered: when using it to defined shortstrings with a given length (string[123]), it's more logical to consider string as keyword instead of a identifier. > Borland must have been smoking something really strong that day. :) No. This was Nikolas Wirth :) -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
