There were several variants to distinguish between keywords and variable names. One was to write keywords in upper case and variables in lower case. Another one was to write everything in upper case and to quote keywords. On systems that only support upper case this makes as much sense as trigraphs in C. -- -- Michael van Elst Internet: mlel...@serpens.de "A potential Snark may lurk in every tree."
