Ho very good ! If you could send me a demo of what you're done...

Basically, here are the main things:

* Constants are '#constant' like blitz
* Comments are '; jfljqsfllkjfl' like blitz
* functions are always followed by '(' not like blitz (ie: WindowID())
* numeric begins always by % for binary, $ for hex and 0to9 for decimal
* strings are " I'm a litteral string "

May be I've missed something.. I could sent you the full function list
if you want.

Good bye !



Fred.
