I can't read more than one post at a time on any machine or screen, not since the forum got this motif back in.. I forgot when they switched to this new style.

Python does this all the time. If a program is executed its internal name is '__main__'. Python developers often make modules execute test code if they are ran as 'main' and if not ran as main they are modules.

Putting in a goto and jamming it saved me a lot of time.


And this is why the ladies don't like us nerds. We just don't take our time with them.
