it is really big fun to work in CS7 --- great work done by victor and 
the others!!!

i would like to mention here one minor and one major issue for the 
current rule in CS7 that variable and instrument names are not allowed 
to use names of opcodes.

the minor issue: we have more than 1500 opcodes so it is a pity that 
many useful names like "start" and "play" are not possible.

but the major issue is this: when in future new opcodes are introduced, 
they will break existing code.  (e.g. i used the variable name "max_rec" 
and an opcode is introduced with this name.)

how do others look at this subject?

best -
