>Well, I jumped the gun (forgetting, of course, that the command window closes and nothing ends up in _CLIPTEXT.) Serves me right for doing the research interactively and dumping it into a program without testing. So you'd have to select the entire contents into _CLIPTEXT manually, prior to calling and delete the references to everything but the file output.:-( Sorry about that. However, if you saved the contents as a prg you could just run it.
