I think the programmer was just getting comfortable with coding in an outliner when he wrote that code. I would consider that indentation a bug, when and if I work in those areas, I'll fix the indentation there. Thanks for pointing it out.

Ah, thanks, Dave, and I'm sorry I went a bit overboard on my remarks about the code! The project does look promising; now I'm encouraged to check it out some more. :-)

Not at all! :-)

I am a total bugger about formatting code.

The outliner approach is pretty good but not perfect.

If-then-else is the sore thumb, for sure.

Along with try-catch.

But overall, outliners are a huge win for writing code.

Let's be hardasses about this stuff, but also understanding.

I think your approach is perfect.
