For simple cases: Yes. I do that sometimes (i.e. (de choXXX ...) in "xxx.l" followed by the actual form (menu ... (idForm ...))). Thus, when the menu calls "xxx.l", 'choXXX' gets defined and used immediately. But: In reality this is seldom enough. 'choXXX' will normally be needed in many other places too, to access XXX objects. So it is better loaded in a library at startup time. 'choItem' is in fact such a case. "app/ord.l" needs it to select items in the order. 'choCuSu' is used in "cusu.l", but is also needed in "ord.l", "item.l", "inventory.l" and "sales.l". ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
