What do you mean? I don't remember using "with" in Pascal, but my only 
experience with Pascal was a class a couple years ago.

It's too bad people have knee-jerk reactions to this kind of thing...POV 
manipulates objects, so some basic OO concepts would fit right in. It 
already has a kind of inheritance...(copies of objects inherit from the 
original variable, and can override some attributes, like texture and 
position. I think this is called "prototype-based inheritance", and it 
seems to be a perfect fit for POV.)
