. . . the following statement from frame XCorU2;
it uses concatenation, or chaining (" "), to fold the current VAlues
of Error Beep (S/G 01) and WAit time (S/G 02) into a string which,

Yes, I get it now. Thanks.
If you want to know more, read Robert's CTRLCHAR.TXT -- specifically

equally to Xy4.
I have to refresh myself on that. Read most of it when it came out.
