What's "normal function" and why it would have to have "Foo" after function? What's wrong with "Foo function bar()"? It reads nicely (at least in English, where the natural word order is adjective-noun, not noun-adjective), it does not disrupt any searches, what exactly is wrong with it? -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/
