There is always more than one way to skin a cat. :) You can make those procedures and functions as methods in some public accesible object, or in app object. But even commercial frameworks still use procedure files too. You may use a combination of both ways. IMHO, if you have procedure file it may be easier to test your forms without running the app, because in this case you don't need to create app object (or procedure object?) when you just need to test one form. For example Visual Extend uses procedure file. In VFX 5 version to ease the testing stage you can run your forms without running the app and it will even instantiate the toolbar. I have heard that many people still use procedures and functions as separate PRG files.
