Hi Sandeep,

Sorry to hear about your cable modem service shutdown (I assume you were 
one of the 760,000 At Home clients).

Does the new overlay function attribute allow you to name the overlay 
segment that the parameters and locals wind up in? I have many routines 
which are at the same level (but different branches) of the calling 
hierarchy which would be candidates for overlaying, but I would need to be 
able to name them to properly overlay the data.

Also, could you provide an example of the new syntax?

Thanks,

Alex Karahalios
