counter++ versus "add 1 to counter"

[Rob Cozens]

Hi Marc,

How can I make this short & sweet?

If you are not comfortable with Transcript syntax, then don't use 
Runtime Revolution.  There are a host of people here that do, and 
many of us don't share your view the succinct, cryptic syntax al la C 
is the be-all and end-all example of what a programming language 
should be.

This issue was discussed in depth within the last month:

    Re: Is Transcript's English orientation a plus or minus?

Kevin Miller has assured this group that Runtime Revolution will not 
abandon its xTalk roots by trying to shoe-horn C syntax into 
Transcript.

And I, for one, respond "Thank God!"
