IMHO that is definitely the wrong track. (and since that sentence has 
'definitely' maybe this is MNSHO). The first thing that needs to be done in 
the parser is the nesting of conditional blocks. We need to deploy the ON 
SIZE ERROR, AT END, and EVALUATE first!. It would not be a bad idea to delay 
on the I/O functionality, but the conditional clauses of the I/O statements 
should be proven as part of the first effort.
