Matt --

So, intertwining this with the other infinite thread you created recently ... my guess is that there'd be more users of the mdot if IT gave the dropdown with local variable names ... instead of ZLOC.


>>>Just Dangit! I'm a fairly skilled programmer, but a apparently a terrible typist/speller. 9 times out of 10 when I my app bombs (while I am running it from the IDE during development), it is not becuase of bad logic, but simply becuase I have misspelled a variable name in a method. Good grief I am tottaly tired of that. I sure wish the thing would figure that when I close the code window, or even better, when I am typing.

>>>Things with intellisense support are fine, it's just stupid local vars defined right in the method that usually kill me.

>>I just tried the ZLOC intellisense keyword in a prg - just type a space after it and you get a dropdown with available local variables. Those declared local, that is.
