Where in the online Help or MSDN or ..., is it documented by
Microsoft tat a reserved word may be used as a variable name if
enclosed in brackets, e.g.:

Dim [Sub] as Long

[Sub] = 3

- Links might be split into two lines. Concatenate them using notepad.
- Links might require to add a ".nnnn" after the "2003FEB", e.g.
"2003FEB.1033" for localized versions.
- Links starting with "ms-help" are URLs for the document explorer (<F1>).
Paste them in the URL textbox and press enter. Using internal help (menu
tools -> options -> environment -> help), display the "Web" toolbar that
contains the textbox.
- The tree representing the table of contents has been translated from
localized (German) version. Excuse slight deviations.

Thanx for both responses.

I found spec in

ms-help://MS.VSCC/MS.MSDNVS/vbcn7/html/vaconKeywordsAsControlNamesInCode.htm

I had been searching for "reserved words", not "keywords".
