What I would like to know is if it's worth the investment as a development language ? I went through the tutorial and was impressed by the extensive use of the stack and the abilitie to create *words*. But I haven't had the chance to actually attempt to write an application with it. Any comments would be appreiciated. Thanks in advance, -Matt Please reply to MMMcNally%pco -at cisl
