Hi Mike, the only problem I was concerned about using *array[20][40] is that I have to keep it the same size no matter how big the file is that is being read into it. I am copying a text file into the array incrementing the 1st index on receiving a \n. That way I have an easy way to move the text up and down a line. What I really wanted to do was allocate memory as the file was being read, thus only using up memory the size of the file. The Array I have had to declare has been [300][80] which makes me set the stack at 30000 before starting the program.I don't want to have to set the stack at all. Also I was talking to Larry here in CO the other day and he was helping me with something, I was asking how to make a program resident so I didn't have to use run when starting it and it would give me back my CLI window. He made a reference to the Manual , section G 5.6 or something, my manual stops at 5.4 and then jumps to 6.1(Macro Assembler), I see nothing about making programs resident. Is there an update to the manual? I received the 5.04 patch but hadn' t heard anything about a manual upgrade. Is there a way I could get it? Thanks for you help… Tom Gray
