I am writing an Arexx program and at a point in the program I need to read from a logical file that contains numerical data and than do calculations. Assuming the file is open and the data is in the file, what do I do next? HELP!!! Tom

Tom; There are lots of "whats that you can do next." When you say that the file is open, do you mean that ARexx has the file open already? Assuming that is the case then one possibility is: do until eof(file) line=readln(file) /* put what ever parsing and manipulations that you want to do here */ end An Amiga message processed by Whap!, bill
