AllI wanted to have an array of three strings where each string could be up to 72 characters in length.If I use the commandDIM L$(3)I get an array of three strings but each string can only be up to 32 characters in length.I tryedDIM L$[72](3) but that just gives a syntax error.Assumeing that it can be done what is the proper syntax for what I am trying to do ?Maybe I need to use the TYPE command somehow ?Charlie.-- Coco mailing listCoco at maltedmedia.comhttps://pairlist5.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/coco
