I don't even know what thread to add this to ...

Point# 1
We are not talking about numbers, we are talking about the "value" of literals being dealt with  
as numbers. Therefore filepro because of its nature cannot work with numbers as other languages
do. Because they deal with numbers as numbers not literals.

Ex 
field 1 type * = "0"
field 2 type .0 = 0

are exactly the same thing. So we cannot compare filepro to most (if not all) other languages
because they do not work this way.

Point # 2
filePro' weakest point is math, it can be done but it is 10x's more complicated that it need be.
(assembly is easier to understand)

Point# 3
filePro is essentially not a language it is a utility that has a proprietary language.

Point #3
We all have way too much time on our hands ... Has anyone had a question answered in the last week
??? I think not !
