Oh really? I guess it has been a long time since I've used standard pascal.
I've been using turbo on the ibm and mac for so long.

Now I guess I'll eat my words. Sorry Rich. But hey, how about making it a       
feature in the next version.  I really think it is an incredibly nicety. Having
to type concat all the time will be a real pain!

Humbly,

Michael O'Rourke.
