Weird RunRev IDE Problem

[Dave]

Hi,

I've changed it now. I agree "it" is awful, but overwriting input  
parameters is almost as bad. The problem here is that "convert" is a  
command rather than a function, it would be *much* better to make it  
a function and return the result.

All the Best
Dave
