Recursive call allows you to generate reusable code. For example, one vi function can return all the individual control references of a cluster no matter the levels of nested clusters within.

Salut.
Could someone explain in a simple way what are the advantages of making a function recursive instead of just making the data recursive(arrays or strings) and building one function to play with that data(while loops)?

The whisper game was based on unintentional morphing, thats not the case here...
Can't we just get over that commercial vs free software thing, not mentioning it anymore?:-$ I don't really have anything to contribute to recursive thing, so this e-mail is probably valueless again. I only did it once for a job because I had to...but I think people who can think recursively are real genius. Sorry, maybe OT again. Irene
