Tore,

in theory you are correct, but if you have legacy code where
oodles of functions are given the same name you better tread
VERY carefully. I've encountered this in a large FPW app -
if you want to be nice you can call it an early attempt in
template programming...

Usually I'ld just move the proc's into a proc
library if I'ld need the return value, but even that won't work
if there is a function with the same name defined in the program file
of the current proc.

Then it is safer to call the specifc proc IN Special.app,
and if you need the return value this is IMHO best done with
the wrapper I described in my other posting.

Sometimes even the "best" resolve is as ugly as the other code...
