You're right you can't create a global variable with the same name as a Type. But, you can if it's scope is limited:
Type ship
	Field x,y
End Type

Function blah()
	Local ship = 3
End Function


You (or I) are unlikely to see any major changes to the syntax of BMax. But, I suspect Mark might be able to fix the above situation, as minor as it is IMO.

Java is a world unto itself.

Sorry to hear you aren't getting on that well with it, but I suspect perseverence may help.
