Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the great feedback.

1. Tcl on Adp.  I have placed a short example of that on my initial draft.  Although it would be great if you can point me to where I can make my own ADP tags.  I am not aware of anything in the doc that talks about this.  I have just place my comment about this on the openacs.org docs section.

2. _p affix is something I forgot.... I will add it there.  Maybe I should move return_url and _p to the "others" section.  And maybe rename others as general.

3. Putting "SQL" seems to be more logical.  I will add that too.  I someone objects please do... otherwise no objection means acceptance.

4. p_ in plSQL is much better.  I have used that several times.  I think it makes it less confusing.  For example you pass in item_id.  Way down the code I am sure you will use item_id local var.  So making item_id to p_item_id and v_item_id make it easier to know which is which.  As far as tcl it don't seem to know why don't get a problem on it.... I don't know exactly why.  Maybe its some odd norm.

Thanks for the feedback its great appreciated.
