[GRIN] At least nobody's shot me down in flames telling me that Pascal 
/has/ to work that way :-)

Just found somewhere that I was applying trim() to a character variable- 
not quite sure I meant to do that and FPC scores over Delphi in picking 
it up.

Thanks. I think I read that as the effect /is/ strictly local and it 
/can/ be applied to any unit. However in general I'm using it as an aid 
to porting existing code, not because I don't like the way FPC does things.
