	Well I have learned this from EXPERIENCE. I had written lots of code andwas integrating them. Everything seemed to work fine when tested seperately. I 
was desperate for a week chasing a bug. I crashed the system a trillion times,
later I discovered that I was calling a library routine without the brackets.
	If you wanna sabotage somebody's code just remove the () from endline,
endpolygon etc and you would be having real fun :-)
