RE: What bugs you about KLISTs in RPG IV?

["Hatzenbeler, Tim" <thatzenbeler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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
