What possible reason could there be for suppressing it? The only use I can see for such a statement is to discard the return value from a function named ParamCount that has side effects, and that is much more clearly done with: "junk := ParamCount;"
I always wanted the extended syntax nil := ParamCount; to get the benefits of being able to throw away the return value with the clarity that you are doing so and without the necessity to create junk variables. Enjoy, Peter. -- <http://www.interarchy.com/> <http://documentation.interarchy.com/>
