Re: Thinking out loud about a new RPG web framework

 Guillermo, the data structure names should be qualified. I didn't 
qualify the data structure name in the example because it's optional to 
do so, but I would usually qualify the data structures for clarity and 
to avoid collisions.

 But more importantly, what I'm proposing doesn't introduce new 
variables of any type, much less with the same name. Just the same 
variables moved from S standalone into dimensioned data structures.

 But since you're doing this and it's a problem, there's something 
going on in that process I don't understand. I would have the screen 
fields in a data structure to replace the screen DDS F spec and pass 
them in and out.
