So then you use a s/g to trap the errors you are interested in. How do you have the program report only those errors you want reported? A lot of IF tests? Or is only while debugging that you use:Not if ES is set to 1, which as a rule it should be. Just about everything runs smoother that way.≪IFHarry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx
