Re: system p announcement

You write them on paper before keying them in to the editor?

Now, Walden, it appears that you jumped to the conclusion that I don't
use WDSc. Actually I do (though I still use SEU for CL's and OCL (!).
I just keep forgetting about the auto-complete feature. I think the
problem (or whatever) is that I'm still one of those people that
actually write their programs before typing them, even if they are short
and sweet. I worked with a guy several years ago that could (and did)
key programs directly from his brain to his fingers to SEU. They almost
always worked; I ain't that good.

been dealing with it for way too many years.

That's because your IDE (SEU <G>) doesn't support auto-complete. When
you're coding in an ide that supports autocomplete typing long names
usually only takes 3 to 6 keystrokes anyway, and it's a hell of a lot
more readable.
