   Well... I finished my education long ago and memory is not the   
   same...   
      
   Could you please briefly explain what is PRL, what is IF THEN and   
   what is the difference between IF THEN (especially "handcoded") and   
   PRL.  With PRL, is there no "hadcoding"? Code is generated   
   automatically somehow?...
