Russ:
Just one question that i couldn't immediately figure out on my own.
	≪SX01,≪VA@01(1≫≫
I know that that is storing something in 01. (I'm assuming something
with regard to the value in 01.)
Could you explain what's happening there?

It's another way of parsing text. The format is
	
where "nn" is the Save/Get, "s" is a separator character (*must* be a
valid
separator per your SEparator table), and "e" is the element. Suppose
S/G 01
contained a $tring like "who.what.when.why":

 == "who"
 == "what"
 == "when"
 == "why"
E.g. "when" is the third element to occur after a "." separator in the
source
$tring "who.what.when.why"
In your program, where "notify()" is (for example) the S/G 01 source
$tring,
 == "notify"
 == ")"
So by saying "to
"notify".
