Thanks for your input, gmpassos!

I would love to switch to the OO mode some day. I've read quite a bit on it and have even got some OO code to work (got some help from castaway). Still, I'm not quite ready yet. Maybe it's just that I think better in terms of procedures (verbs rather than nouns).

I suppose if I were to write a specific standalone module that serves a single purpose, I might be able to think the OO way much better.
