>That is actually the reason I abandoned using WITH alltogether. I realized it is making the code more unclear to read (especially when you have more than 20 lines of code, or, worse, when you put different WITH's in the same code). Most other languages don't have that WITH either, I know if from VBA, but it is absent from C# and Java for instance (afaik). It appears to me as some kind of relic of older days, something that seemed to be a good idea back then. But then again, when it was introduced there was no intellisense at all.
Actually I think it is present in C# and Java, albeit in a different context, much worse in my opinion: Using and Import.
