I expect Grady didn't realise the can of worms he was opening.

I find that I tend to use :

Keyword_Set() for flags : See if the user wants an option on or off

N_Elements() for numeric values : Test to see if they have defined
it. If they have then test its validity. If anything fails then set
the default.

Arg_Present for returning : e.g. in a getProperty or setProperty
method see if the user wants a particular property returned.

This discussion shows, though, that while we often spend a lot of time
disussing really complex problems, it is still the very simple, yet
fundamental questions which provoke the most interest.

Cheers,
Phil Aldis
