Indeed - my train had arrived at my destination and I didn't have time 
to respond to the next post.

Post a topic on the forums about 'switch' - we need to have a discussion 
about what sort of 'switch' should actually be implemented. C-style 
switches are horrendous and really have no place in a 'higher-level' 
language in my point of view. I've seen that control structure done 
better in virtually every other programming language I've ever used.

Warmest Regards,
