Beginner's Question: with statement in C++
I recently migrate from Pascal. But I can't find anything like the Pascal "with" statement in the C++ online help. How to do this in C++?

What was the "with " statement doing?...

yeah, there really is no equivalent, which is actually good. Pascal's with statement was a mistake that leads to confussion an problems. This one of the rare times when C++ has a syntractic advantage of Pascal
In a sense, C++'s member functions are similar to Pascal's "with". This is because a member fucntion can access all the data members of an object (class or structure) without having to explicitly dereference the "this" pointer to get to the data members.

It's fine. I can use copy and paste instead. But since the answer didn't "solve" the question, (because there is no solution in this case) I can't give a very high grade.
