It would be nice to have a possibilty to show the number (0, 1, 2 ...) of repeating section on the character sheet.

+1 With only one or two entries, it's easy to count them up (then subtract one, since they start at zero (who does that?!)) When you've got a dozen entries, things get confusing! -Phnord PS: Not the only issue with repeating sections, but one that I'd still like to see fixed!

Programmers start at 0 because it makes the math easier. =D Array notation (originally) is just syntactic sugar for: ArrayAddr[index] == *(ArrayAddr+(index*sizeof(ArrayObject))) So, the index is really an offset into the array. The element at the beginning has an offset of 0. (This is also how overflow bugs generally work!)

Aaron, Fortran is one of the oldest (1957) high-level programming languages (ie, higher-level than assembly, which doesn't have arrays), and it uses 1-indexed arrays. =)

Sure, I'm not saying it's the only way, just that's the why see 0 based indexing. Besides, I guarantee you they have a -1 in there somewhere. :)
