I don't *know* that it won't work, but it seems possible that you're actually (at least with the first delete) increasing the memory usage to double because of the (relatively) small delete from a large variable. All justifications aside, I'd use method 3 all the time unless something broke. ;-) _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
