No, I meant that EntryParms makes no sense as the name of a program to be called. I don't think that suggesting a prototype name like "EntryParms" makes much sense even for tutorial purposes since it adds something to be unlearned later. >Jim was provided with many comments such as > ... > Use CONST because the program doesn't change the parameters > ... >It seemed to me that Jim had just selected some quick and easy code for >some RPG IVesque commentary.

It seemed that way to me too, which was why I only concentrated on the fundamental RPG IV things - D spec style, and using a prototyped parameter-list. I think the concept of CONST parameters is a fundamental one, not a triviality that can be introduced later. Too many experienced RPG IV programmers still declare variables to hold CONST and VALUE parameters.
