this worked, pat... thanks for the pointer! but i'm still confused as to what # means to indicate... i've always understood it to indicate the decimal value of a raw byte whereas $ indicates the hex value of a raw byte... i haven't found anything showing the use of #$xxx though :/ in any case, this worked and i'm a bit happier :) :) :) _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
