In your example: In article <89273.161831TRM900@PSUVM.BITNET>, Tony R. Marascosays: >BEGIN > WRITELN; > . > . > WHILE (A <> 0) DO > BEGIN > IF COUNT <> 0 THEN > BEGIN > AVG := TOTAL / COUNT; > END; > . > . > END; I would of taken off points for not using lowercase text (a pet peeve of mine), and also for the fact that a begin and end bracket a single statement (after the IF). Then again, this is my opinion, and if your teacher is adamant about the form you should follow, I'd say conform to their form, but revert to yours when you've finished the class. ------- Tom "Shark" Collins Since ICS is comprised of 2 people, my views tbc101@psuvm.psu.edu are the opinion of at least 50% of the company.
