Humm. Probably a good idea. Comes at a good time
too, just after five hours of concentrated work
changing all the references in by book and Library,
and just as I was reaching for the Commit button. :-(

I think I'm going to leave it. I appreciate the idea,
but I think if your fingers are going to have to learn
a new pattern anyway, it's best to put the new pattern
at the *start* of the routines, rather than at the end.
Makes it a little more regular, it seems to me. And as I
stare at the list, I sort of like that they are all grouped
together in my project window. I know right where to find
them.

Pros and cons, I guess. But I don't feel like another five
hours of *that* kind of work. :-)

Cheers,

David
