[`begin/end' after `otherwise' ...] [...] Oh, and the lack of trailing colon is easier as that's the way Oregon has it. Again, if it's optional it doesn't matter. Just to be sure that I have understood everything correctly: It is okay for you if we drop the colon after `otherwise' (i.e. forbid it) as long as we do not forbid a `begin/end' pair after `otherwise'?

That is correct. Oregon has no colon, and has 'statement' not 'statement-list' ie. it requires begin/end if there is more than one statement. It always has the Otherwise after all the cases. Richard.
