Just as a side question, will these language specific namespaces be available to other languages? For example, in the .NET world, the VB.NET builtin functions are part of the Microsoft.VisualBasic (or something like that) namespace. Now, if you really wanted to use a VB.NET builtin in C# or one of the other languages, you can simply import the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace and use the function. I don't know how useful it is, but it might be a useful feature to have available. Steve Peters [EMAIL PROTECTED]
