Yeah... I'm still trying to figure out how to make data structures less clunky without adding unnecessary complexity... I'm planning to go back and look at that again.

The thing I'm actually looking forward to doing is to extend textfiles and message boxes and data structures to be able to spit lists of atoms around much more flexibly than now.
independenly of how many new possibilities would come up from adding lists to data structures, working with data structures in general is still very laborious. I would just like to add if it would be possible to add a couple more methods to work with pointers. I've made several suggestions in the past, and can send them again (have them somewhere). Methods like [next x(, [previous x(, [delete(, etc., would be quite good for more complex things. Something also quite good would be the possibility of incorporating simple math expressions in data structure objects. like "x*3" written in the object, instead of getting the elements, multiplying them, and then setting them... from what I've seen from ftm, that's a very good resource.
and several other things, but I don't want to hijack the whole thread.
