What kind of argument is that? Let's not have too many commands because it makes the list ugly?
Yeh. What's wrong with that? ;]
Yes, let's have blitz with only cool functions that do spiffy things. Let's not bother with the basics because they're too boring to program.
Is there a problem? =]
Yes, let's all do nothing until BMax arrives...
No no, I'm a firm believer in the 'use what you got not what you anticipate' speech.
Frankly, Hotcakes, there is plenty of life left in Blitz and I sincerely hope that Mark could be bothered to spend as much time on simple, but essential, functions as he does on the more interesting ones.
It's funny then, that in all the years since BlitzBasic was released, some of these simplest types of functions and requests for them have been completely ignored!
Ha ha. Or something.
