Please, is it really necessary to send the question "how do you pass
a number to a procedure" to 1000 machines?  Isn't there someone in the
same room or the same building or the same city that you could ask directly?
Isn't there a Pascal manual on your shelf somewhere?

I realize that the net is a simple, easy way to ask questions of other
people; this is one of its better features.  But please think for a
few seconds about the cost of distributing your question to this many machines
all over Canada, the U.S, Europe, and elsewhere when the answer is probably
available more rapidly and cheaply locally.
