I would vote for case-sensitivity. True, i grew up in the early day's of PDP11, flex, uniflex and so-on, where case-sensitivity was default. I think it is a bad habit to write something else, from what you expect. More important is, that you get a un-avoidable error, when you try to read a variable, that isn't initialised (due to mixed case). Like in the old fortran/pascal/C days, where you just get a compilation error, that you had to solve before you could continue.... There is already too much insensitivity in this world, let's get rid of (at least) case insensitivity! hans -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
