Its Graf :)...you need your confidence reinforced?  Ok...you UNDERSTAND symbols, Chris :).    Lol, and you're welcome for the
tutorials.  Glad they help.

This is a little trickier.  Do you want to put stuff from the program into strings as in Str1-Str0?  If you just want to
display, or store the information, its a case of using _chkfndsym, bypassing the size etc., then you've got your information! 
Its just a case of how you read it and mess about with it.  You probably need more info than what I just gave...try to be more
specific, and I'll help ya some more (hopefully :)...

Later,

James.
