Nope. Newbies will make mistakes, we can't avoid 'em all (or bend over backwards for many). I think end is a perfectly good name. I'd bet that the problem would have solved itself eventually when he looked at other people's code and discovered that the "end statement" (which looks odd to me, for its lack of colon, for some reason) was unnecessary. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
