(Huh - i realized that "locality of reference" isn't the right phrase, not sure what is. I was trying to refer to something along the lines of modularity - basically, the virtue of lexical scoping is that you can, eventually, trace the connections by reading the program text. Dynamic scoping is not so well behaved - any routine that calls your routine may contain a variable whose value you're expecting to get from elsewhere. It's too promiscuous...) Ken
