Thanks, Robert. I'll poke around in both spots. I should have given my
query a bit more context. LL and LD don't work in NB7 and I was 
trying to figure out why (they simply "hang" the cursor).This
is strange because LU and LD work fine. So I thought maybe it had
something to do with that unfamiliar function call (&X,Q,L). I tried
simply changing L to LL but that failed.
