>>>>No, I think you were reading into that something I didn't mean. Most programmers to something to differentiate between words. CamelCase or an underscore or thisIsMyVariableName (C programmers love that leading letter to be lowercase). I am assuming that some technique will be employed fairly consistently. What I mean was Total should not be seen as a different variable from total. thisIsMyVariableName should be the same as ThisIsMyVariableName. If you want to use all lowercase and run the words together wih no underscore or whatever, then you will get var names that are hard to read, especially with longer ones. On that we agree.

I forget what I said, but I should have implied that the design goal is a replacement for those two windows, though I believe even Jim Nelson, who's coding it, has said he still has to use the Property window at times. If you are interested in contributing design ideas, etc. you can email him and I believe he'll include you on the mailing list. No promises. I'm not sure if he is interested in adding people, but I think he'll be ok with it. jimrnelson at gmail.com

IIRC, you generally have good ideas to offer here, even if you have been seduced to the dark side of the case sensitivity issue. <g>
