Ok here is a wild idea that I came up with last night

Hans and company,

I was thinking that it would be absolutely fabulous if when you do a callp
or eval function call (not to mention the CF spec) that you could prompt for
the parameters for the prototyped function (F4 prompting). This would
require some sort of prepass in SEU to build the function list from the
/Copy and internal prototypes. You would display the variable names, types,
const'd ness, etc and have an input field for the variable name in your
function (which could be prompted for too, ideally showing only those fields
that match the criteria).

Now I know that this would not work for things called by procedure pointers
(or it would most likely be ALOT of work) but an 90% solution (in most cases
near 100%) is better than nothing. Right now I do a compile after I enter
all my /Copys and External Data Structures etc. Then work from the compile
listing for the variables/functions/parameters etc.

Just a thought!
