Re: DDS Support

Jon look at the automatic prompting used in VB and Delphi for function
parameters. Both of them show the parameter definition for a function
automatically and believe me it is a great time saver! I hate having to look
things up in my Win32 manual or the VCL when I do not have to. The key thing
is that with a little extra smarts in SEU there could be some mechanism for
prompting for prototyped calls/procedures. Don't knock it until you try it
:-)

BTW we are not saying that the executed code go through the command
processor, just that we would love to have prompting for prototyped calls.
