>One other point here: With contemporary coding, it's becoming more common to lose the 'l' for Local, since there aren't any Publics or Privates to distinguish in most code - if there are, you can use a prefix for them as you describe, and for parameters. But I discontinued the redundant Local 'l' a year ago or so, it makes the code a lot more pleasant, I think, without it. I see more of this all the time in reading published code...

I agree with you on that one, Bruce. I only use the scope for a parameter (t), and otherwise only if a variable needs further clarification. I do use the variable type for variables, but not for properties or for fields.
