i repeat again, you don't ever have to DIM a%, you can just start using it, whats more elegant than that?
i remind also A is a one symbol varaible name and A% is a two symbol variable you seem to be conflating the two different names, by your @bartok 'philosophy' you'd never use a one symbol variable name and thats fine if you like typing all those suffixes.
ps i like bringing philosophy into coding style mainly because KP doesn't ha, ha.
also i remind the hobgoblin effect of foolish consistencies.
