RE: FW: Random

oh great.  now we've got "downto"s.

Sorry Hans, I know these are great additions and everyone else will be 
breathing hard for a week but I don't see a big difference between this 
and a DO loop with a "downto" added for glamour.

Please excuse me being grumpy.   I don't see these enhancements adding a 
thing to RPG's competitiveness, or to the AS/400's appeal to the business 
community.

I'll regret sending this I know, but damn... "downto"s?
