Not sure how we got onto the subject of notation, I'll blame the other
Peter!

See, it makes good sense, and I remember what it means.

Yes that's key, and also to make sense to any one else who needs to
understand. I pretty much follow your naming of objects, but I prefix all
number variables with an "n". If not a long followed by b, s or d for byte,
single, double. I hate the "l" prefix (ie small L) !

more in the sense of Simonyi's original intent

As I recall he named his notation Hungarian as a joke, describing it as so
confusing it might as well be Greek, and hence named after his nationality.

I picked up the my- prefix from forums such as these (I've never done
Pascal). More recently in my posts I use names like theChart, thisChart,
thatChart, newChart, oldChart, in an attempt to be descriptive. In my own
coding I use descriptive prefixes like cht-, ws-, wb- and so forth, not as
a
strict Hungarian approach as followed by some programming prescriptivists,
but more in the sense of Simonyi's original intent, to help the coder
remember what the hell he's thinking. For example, I don't use i- for
integer or l- for long. I use mostly longs anyway, because I read
somewhere
that the performance difference between longs and ints isn't so much, my
programs have more delays waiting for the user to select an option than in
calculations, and I hate having to redeclare my ints as longs if I decide
I'll allow the user to use all rows of his own worksheet. I use i- for
something that increments, n- for a count of that something, sometimes o-
for an initial value, and l- for other kinds of numbers:

For iNumber = oNumber to nNumber Step lNumber

See, it makes good sense, and I remember what it means.

Reformed - an on going process!

I don't think I've ever used mySeries or myChart in my own work (well
obviously).
I don't know the origin of 'my' but pretty sure it pre-dates Mac and
possibly Pascal.

I trust in context it was pretty obvious that mySeries clearly referred
to
a
Series object of 'your' choosing, and not me being overly possessive
about
one belonging to me.

Per Peter T:
"mySeries"

Another reformed Mac Pascal programmer?

Thanks.
