Well, my problem with questions like this is that it's certainly possible to cram a lot of dreck into a small number of lines in any programming language, but at the expense of readability. If you look at the 16-line or 13-line program in another six weeks, do you really think you can figure out what it's doing? I could probably cram the whole Tower of Hanoi puzzle into one line of javascript. -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
