No spaces in names.
Ever.
For any reason.
I used to feel the same way until a few years ago when someone mentioned
that he always named his numbered controls with a space before the
number. That allows easy identification of the numeral which is handy
when looping through controls in a repeat loop. I.e.:
repeat with x = 1 to 10
set the textstyle of fld ("Field" && x) to "plain"
end repeat
Now I use spaces if I need numbered control names.
Spaces don't hurt anything if the name is quoted -- and of course, all
literals should always be quoted anyway. The parser may not always be as
forgiving as it is now, and quoted literals execute marginally faster too.
