Hi again
I understand this, and I understands that what also annoys you is that recurse really means curse again. So maybe someone should come up with a better word? Autoloop or Selfloop?

>>According to my dictionary, the word instantiate, which you also have been using for years, is also a word which was 'constructed' to fill a need in computer programming. How can you justify your use of this verb, and not recurse? The story behind the words recurse and instantiate is exactly the same, AFAIK.
