Reimar's list of IDLDE menu items pinpoints exactly one of the two
reasons why I never used .SKIP until a few months ago: I never found
it, it's nowhere in the IDLDE menus! So maybe you could add the
request for a menu item to your bug report?
cheers,
Jaco

PS: The other reason: .SKIP is not in David's book. Of course it is
not,
him not needing it, writing only perfect code. Now as for his readers...
