Hi Dar,

being the peson that crated that subject line I want to give a short 
statement to your post.

I absolutely agree that creating software is much more than just typing 
in a bit of code.

Absolutely agreed. If I do serious software design I can spend weeks, 
month or even longer to get a final product done.
I just felt challanged by quite a few posts in capital letters that (to 
me) communicated that you can´t do anything in Revolution without days 
of work and lengthy scripts (100 lines of code). I wanted to proof this 
wrong. So I stoped the time I needed to write that code I posted (and 
it was neither very clean nor too good). Choosing that subject line 
seemed like fun to me (that might be my strange sense of humour or the 
fact that I don´t like to be shouted at. ;-) .) Never would I dare to 
call my code snippet a product or a good example for style.

Anyway the thread evolved to a very valuable thread IMHO. It proofs 
that there is always room for improvement to scripts that do work and 
that fine tuning could lead to good style and efficient code or that 
there always might be a better solution the more you think of a problem.

Cheers,

Malte
