Naughty, naughty, Thomas. The first thing I did was glue that little Xerox thing to a piece of shirt cardboard and cover it with Scotch Magic Transparent tape. Still looks beautiful. I'll copy it for you if you want another. Although it takes some getting used to I really like the Benchmark approach to strings. Passing addresses only resolves a lot of the ambiguity. Yes you can (and are encouraged to) put string literals in your subroutine calls. ( i.e.DoThis(ADR("MyString")); ) If you prefer to pass the string itself rather than its address you can but it seems you have to use a compiler switch ($D+/- I think) to bracket the called PROCEDURE. The manual is less than clear on this (to me) but since many of the demos are ported from TDI this technique is used frequently. I went nuts trying to load text into IntuiText structures until I saw this. — Art
