RE: What bugs you about KLISTs in RPG IV?

Lets say, if the this rumor would happen to be true about free form, and the
ability to code the chain as below, I am in complete favor of it, the less
hardcodeing the better, and to push it even farther, how about adding a
filepointer to it....  Any how, I like the direction you seem to be
going....

my 2 cents, tim
