[TIB] Re: Question
There are a couple of good uses for those commands
though. For instance, in a small program based off
menus, those commands can be used at pretty good
efficiancy. For variable looping, I wouldn't use
them, but they can be useful for earmarking spots in
smaller progs without much memory leakeage.
