Right. It would seem that the definition of arguments to a procedure would need to change where the idea of "named type" vs "type" would have to be introduced so that ARRAY OF 3 REAL would be a type but it is not a named whereas TYPE V3 = ARRAY OF 3 REAL would have V3 being a named type. That is just a quick, off the cuff, comment without much thought behind it. -Doug ---- To unsubscribe, send a message with body "SIGNOFF BLACKBOX" to LISTSERV{([at]})nowhere.xy
