Hi kenpo,

Your idea is the “PBP Wish List” category.
That's what a wish category should be used for!

Thank you, I like the idea.

You can wish for whatever you want, hey I'm not stopping you.

The point I was trying to convey is that in many cases people have already got what they are wishing for, if only they stopped to learn what they've got (or read the manual as Skimask would point out) to realise the fact.

In post #1 of this thread you wanted a function, and got it in post #2 with a simple math statement. So if it's that easy, why bloat-out the core function with unnescessary code?

Your camera in this case already has the zoom facility... you've just not discovered how to use it yet. Rather than have an obvious button called Zoom, it's embedded several Menu levels deeper down and needs a better understanding of the camera to discover all it's features.

I think I'll stay on neutral grounds with this one. Both Melanie & Kenpo have made some points that I agree with.

BASIC - Beginners All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code - as its name suggests is a language primarily directed towards the beginner. However, because of its sheer ease-of-use and RAD nature Rapid-Application-Development, many professionals also continue to use it.

Traditionally, BASIC has always been a function orientated language. Much like buttons on a calculator, entire complex and length procedures are preserved behind simple syntax. (This is BASIC's strength)

It also has a very big weakness too. Not such a big deal with say Visual BASIC, because nowadays, you have what seems like an infinite amount of storage at your disposal. But when a lack of a few bytes can put an entire project on ice, you really don't want any protocol that's bloated.<br/>
