I find these delimiters an annoying eyesore at best. I usually write algorithms without them, using indentation show heirarchy. I only include them in fulfillment of a target language's definition. In fact, there are languages whose heirarchical structure is determined solely by indentation (the only one that comes to mind is josh@rutgers.edu's CAML, still under development). Regards, [Ag]
