>Ken's got a point. Why try and be another VB?

and if you (hopefully) add a cursor engine api to the fox library already

available for .net you'd hardly notice you'd changed languages <g>.

fwiw I have never understood why there still have to be if - then / curly

brackets / indentation <s> wars - a fast modern compiler/interpreter should

allow you to set 'pragma' statements for your preferences so that syntax

could be interchangeable (you code in C or VB 'style' - I can see it as C#

or Fox 'style'; afaik this is almost possible already with CLI languages).
