i haven't tried that... my understanding is that #xx depicts the decimal
format of the character...
eg : $FF == #255
It is rather #$FF which is the same as #255, like Chr(255)
this worked, pat... thanks for the pointer!

but i'm still confused as to what # means to indicate... i've always understood 
it to indicate the decimal value of a raw byte whereas $ indicates the hex 
value of a raw byte... i haven't found anything showing the use of #$xxx though 
:/
This might help:

in any case, this worked and i'm a bit happier :) :) :)
