And now I understand what you meant by Guido and stack management -- yes, when using recursion, I rely on whatever language implementation to keep track of the process. :-) [I knew you'd see the mistakes of your way eventually. And you also understand that "subtitution" leads to vacuous claims.] Of course, if lambda were to bind variables properly, you could always teach continuation-passing style and get away with closures, rather than stacks. Well, that's for PPython (or Parenthesized Python to do). And once kids understand that, nothing stands in their wau of generating interactive CGI scripts from interactive programs. (Hey, why not turn IDLE into an interactive CGI script that way?) -- Matthias
