Can someone explain the meaning of 'const' in these definitions?
yes it means that you can't change it's value inside the procedure, so the procedure call is a little faster.

Can someone explain the meaning of 'const' in these definitions? I've never encountered it in arguments to a method before this release.

EDIT: of course, as soon as I hit send, I think of a possibility... does it mean you can't change its value in the method body??

Suddenly a bigger issue, because I cannot supress the endless trace of 'file not found' messages in the beta FREE version--the page with the option to suppress is unavailable. But there are reasons I need to check for existing files, even otherwise.

In the past, I have cabled out to the file lister module and back in, but I'd love to get it inline in my scripts while I'm refactoring, it's much cleaner.
