>Really, trust me......I can wait! I am already having way too much fun trying to figure out how to do some of the stuff my users' want without having to worry about typing variables!

Worry... what's to worry about. :-) Example

DECLARE
GLOBAL CHAR PersonEdit *person who modified the record last
LOCAL NUM TotalPeople *number of people at dinner
END DECLARE

The above would make my day. Changing variable types on the fly is akin to the "goto".
