Jim – Thanks for the reply. I've been using "Call WriteCH(byte)" in my program, so I'm covered there, but where I think I'm getting stuck is trying to find an equivalent for the CHR$() function. If I understand d2c()'s result, I'll won't get an ASCII character – which is what CHR$() will do. So how do I get from binary (or decimal) to the ASCII? The only clue I found in the ARexx manual was the CVi2a() function – which will convert from integer (decimal?) to ASCII. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be simple to use, i.e. (from the ARexx manual): CVi2a() – convert from integer to ASCII Usage: (length, pointer) = CVi2a(buffer, value, digits) I don't know how to use a 'pointer' to access the converted value. Perhaps there is another undocumented conversion function with one of the other support libraries that I am unfamiliar with? Thanks for your help. Joe
