Bonnie,

This technique was usually to speed up the screen generation (the screen did not have to be regenerated just because you changed the code), I don't think it was a design issue.

>You know one thing that really bothers me is this .... years ago someone, I think it may have been Drew Speedie, had made a case for not putting things in screen code snippets (FPW 2.6), but just calling the functions from the code snippets and the functions were all in the prg that did the calling of the .SPR.
