Wow. That is a really brilliant presentation. (Or maybe I should say that it's a

that I appreciate all of the info and your time in writing it is an
understatement-- it is so in-depth, especially about 'placeholders' in
functions, which has always been mysterious to me and a real stumbling block.

It's no wonder that I was flummoxed by W. Pokorny's masterful code that I
referenced earlier-- it probably makes use of *all* of the various function
rules and different 'namespace' conventions that you mentioned.


the wall in front of my computer to stare at for hours at a time so that I can
absorb it all. Through osmosis! At some point, I am going to have to carve out
the time to concentrate on *just* function use and experiments, and compare my
older (and current!) trial-and-error scene successes to the actual methodology
and your very helpful notes (from both here and in the past).

Thanks, as always. You would be a good teacher of this stuff.

An actual function named after ME?! (**blushes**) I am thrilled and humbled. I
shall invoke it many times in the future as a mark of distinction. I shall name
my first child "function{Kenneth,2}" to carry on the tradition (?? Uh-oh, maybe
that was bad function syntax?? I'm still learning...)

Good work, ha!  But you forgot to say HELLO as you passed through!
