My beef with IT is that IT isn't defined as a global variable by default. For 
example, if you need a quick file path and type ...
    answer file ""
... you can't get your path unless you previously did this ...
    global it
In HC that was done by default which I found to be very handy. And that is 
all I have to say about IT.
