I seem to recall the letters A-J (work areas 1-10) were reserved and should not be used, although that may be almost pre-historic and of no consequence with later versions of the Fox. This is another case of being comfortable with how to write code and forgetting the details.

My preference is to not be cryptic and attempt to use an English like word whenever possible, that has meaning.
