Yes, although I think a good modification would be to put the number part of the rule first. This would add the flexibility of allowing different numbers to have different sets of operands. There's no great need to support a comment at the end of a rule line. >If a >source string has # as its first character it can be indented a space or >two. That would mean that leading spaces on a line would be ignored. That's another reason why putting the number first is better. Leading spaces should be ignored anyway, since all applications which insist on no indentation have routinely proven themselves to be rather annoying. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
