Thanks - that looks excellent, but the 'uses' list for this, for non lazarus users, has, I guess, lots of things in it.
The problem is also that I'm trying to implement this hack in an old version of pascal, v2.2.2 for which I only have the compiler & basic rtl stuff - that's why I'd just like some info for a quick hack eg some bullets or some idea what I need to do eg to read the no or string in eg cell x23 of sheet jim in fred.xls.
