Thanks, this is helpful too.  so l'm guessing that sprintf(str,"%d",num) 
converts the %decimal number, num, to a string, str, to be displayed by 
DrawStr(0,0,str,4).  Also l guess what l'm asking is, what is the 14 for?  
why not another number?  or is that just in case num has more than 13 (plus a 
null) digits?  Does this mean that if all cells of str is not filled by that 
function that they won't be displayed?
Thanks
