Re: Suggestion: File to use when compile

[Tony Carolla <carolla@xxxxxxxxx>]

It just seems to me that taking advantage of what's already included
in the language would be better to expand on.  For example, on the
ExtFile keyword, perhaps allow multiple parameters, ex.

ExtFile('lib/filename':'lib/filename')

where the second paramenter (which could never be a variable) would
point to the file to use during the compile.  Perhaps even include a
parm for the system name that contains the file.  In this way, you
aren't really adding another layer to the whole mess, with CL commands
(never mind what happens when the CL commands change -- what about
positional parameters, etc??? -- that's scary, if you ask me).

I agree that if you are going to start embedding commands in your
program for the compiler, this really is going too far.
