Yes, tab stops for comments and ability to specify an alternate (presumably monospaced) font for quoted strings would be better, but someone will have to write that. BTW, the right way to get column headers to line up: writeln("First":12, "Second":12, "Third":20); writeln("Column":12, "Column":12, "Column":20); ... writeln(this:12, that:12, other:20); That makes it a lot easier if you want to change formats later; you might also put the widths in CONST's. -------
