Paul, that wouldn't be so handy while you were writing the procedure. I wouldn't want to have to look in a /copy file to see what my parameters were while I was working on the procedure.

There are conditional compile tricks that let you put the prototypes at the top of the source member containing the procedures. They are cool, but I think it clutters up the source member too much, and I'm happier keeping prototypes in /copy files.
