That would be a great help >for anyone who attempts to read the code. I'm not really sure. In some cases, it may help, in others not. It's often easier to read and understand the code from the messages backwards, and in some cases, the messages are almost part of the code. Probably looking at the stuff only on screen is though. What I usually do is print out the code every so often, then read it on the bus home. Then I scroll around in the code quite quickly, because I have the overall picture. Of course, your habits may vary. Regards, Martin.
