I usually write small handlers so it doesn't matter, but in a recent project I wrote some very long handlers and I switched to your way to stay organize and document. (I probably should have sat back and organized my thoughts and used small handlers.) I'm assuming "block" in a casual sense of a blank line or two and a line or two of comments followed by code. Are there some potential problems in declaring variables this way? > - anything else we can come up with I'm sorry I won't be there to throw candy when style suggestions seem legalistic. (Don't tell Richard and Ken, but I often use naming conventions for handlers over a few lines, and even sometimes for tiny ones. I guess I'm being won over as I get older. I had thrown candy in light-hearted protest against their talk on naming conventions, back in Monterey, causing a bit of confusion.)
