>That sounds like some of the things they do in the dialysis unit here.

They had this programmer here at this hospital who wrote stuff in Clipper for some of the die-hard Wordperfect users - not really sure what the connection was, there. He showed me a cool parsing function which with very little modification I adapted to a FoxPro 2.5 DOS routine. He was nice in that he didn't look down his nose at me because I was *only* a nurse.
Actually, it was in a hospital setting that I was introduced to FoxPro 1.02 by this IS guy who saw this MS Works macro I had written... and told me I needed to learn how to program. So he gave me a copy of Pascal, to learn proper programming technique. Finally got a copy of FoxPro 1.02 and then the confusion began. Been having a ball ever since.
