While that would be a useful tool,  I wonder if there is any reason to be
talking about or requesting new features.  I would like to ask anyone who
knows Bud to ask him to give us an update on the status of fp.  If they are
going to be releasing new versions or if we are just in a maintenance mode.
Obviously, the programmers must have been working on some new things the
last few years.  Maybe if he could just give us a list of what they've added
for their own internal use, we could give him a feeling of how many of us
would be willing to buy it if they wrapped it up and released it.

If this is beating a dead horse, please forgive me.

Regards,

Scott

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. :-)
