Hi, > Also, the reason it is hWnd instead of something more verbose, is you have > to type it over and over and over when writing Windows programs > Having said all that, I much prefer The Ruby Way. I somehow feel the need to justify myself :) There was no conscious decision on my part to use this particular notation, I merely copied it from http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=de&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&selm=20030509163416.9255.qmail%40web12306.mail.yahoo.com and put it in my script without questioning it. I did not intend to express any belief in which notation is better (personally, I do stuff like my_variable most of the time). -- Bye: Andi S. mailto:nullpointer / myrealbox.com
