Dar,

I simply like boxes, I use them not only for arrays, so that 
enhancement will not kill my use of boxes, there's room for 
improvements? maybe, I must think if any feature is missing...


about revLISP (which is SCHEME), the parser is hard by now but in the 
following week I'll solve that, I think I'll use box as the backend of 
my cell structure, it might work fine! :D

I have not much experience in writing lexical analysis tools and the 
like, but I am learning, as soon as I can parse it to a stack, 
everything will be easy. :D

Cheers
Andre
