Hi Sergey,

I agree completely. I'm not, nor was I, attempting to state that 'my way' is better. It's just what I prefer. I was simply replying to his statement that it is clearer when done differently. It may be clearer to you both that way, but it is clearer to me the other way. Definitely subjective! :o)

>>When scanning programs, typically you look at the leftmost characters in the command line (we do anyway). Scanning code, you do not read the entire line at first until you locate what you are looking for in the code. It would take forever to read across every line of code to determine if there is '+' at the end of it. The '+' sign as the leftmost character immediately represents a continuation of the previous line when viewing, browsing, etc code. To me, it is much clearer and faster to determine that the line of code is a continuation with the '+' at the beginning of the additional line of code rather than at the end of the initial line of code.
