I attended MacHigh School (how embarrassing), where we were told that at Apple constants were capitalized one way, globals another, and locals were, I think, all lowercase. I think perhaps globals had lowercase first letters but a cap in the middle (lowerCase, for example), and constants had uppercase first letters and perhaps a cap in the middle (UpperCase). -- Melinda Shore shore@mtxinu.com mt Xinu ..!uunet!mtxinu.com!shore
