Hi. Just got back (with a new computer) after a one week hiatus, so to speak.
I'll now stroll a bit around to learn the news.
Regards.

I hope you got back to where you once belonged.

Yep, I got back to where I once belonged. As for the new 'beast', here's the specification:
2.66 GHz processor; 80 GB H-D; 512 Mb RAM.
Rick on!

What kind of strings do you use on it?

Cotton strings.

Out of context:

"Advanced Tip: The syntax C_STRING(...;${...}) allows you to declare a variable number of parameters of the same type, under the condition that these are the last parameters for the method. For example, the declaration C_STRING(...;${5}) tells 4D and the compiler that starting with the fifth parameter, the method can receive a variable number of parameters of that type ..."

My, how far have we come with computers. I vaguely remember using strings in computer code in the 'old days' when DOS and BASICA were all that there was for PCs.

Bottom line: a computer uses strings, too, but thank goodness they don't have to be replaced!
