Hello Corey, >> If I can find some simple mnemonic for "," vs "@" for being executed vs >> ignored, I could live with that, but nothing obvious comes to my mind. > > @in't gonna execute it? Hmmm... This is too much of an Americanism, IMHO. > I'm here all week, try the veal. Sorry, syntax error, you have lost me. Some googling suggests a reference to post WW2 "lounge entertainers", probably in the USA. I also do not understand why this would mean "yes". > I'd be fine with either of these on aesthetic grounds. On technical > grounds, 'z' is harder to show. I'm not sure that this valid technical point should be a good reason for guiding what feedback should be provided to the user, but it makes it simpler to choose two states:-) For three states with more culturally neutral mnemonics, I thought of: ? for f (waiting for a true answer...) . for z (waitingfor the end of the sentence, i.e. endif) & for t (no real mnemonic) For two states: * for being executed (beware, it is ***important***) / for not (under the hood, and it is opposed to *) Otherwise I still like "?[tfz]", but it is two characters long. -- Fabien.
