The @when user key function/feature.... Wish list item?

[John Esak]

This is a little off this thread, but who cares.

On the apps where I push an pull rows up and down with @wuk... I often use
arrays of 2 char dummies on the screen for the different rows/files.
Generraly, they look like:



   *aa     *ba     *ca
   *ab     *bb     *cb
    *ac    *bc     *cc
    ...    ...     ...
    *aj    *bj     *cj

Everyone knows this routine and probably uses this sort of thing all the
time.

What would be so good is if there were a way to wildcard each group of two
letter variables for the @wuk feature.

It would be nice to be able to write:

@wukA*    if:
        then:  blah blah


@wukB*


In fact, this might even be nice for at when leafving/entering as well, but
not so much perhaps.   


In any case. Is this something that could be accomplished easily the way you
now handle labels and such.  I don't see why not really, but of course,
that's why I'm asking. :-)
