I've always coded in MV using input handling routines. The arrows are supported to move about in the input field. I worked with a client a while back and their application only used the BASIC INPUT statement. This caused some garbage data to occasionnally appear in their files. I was quite surprised to see that not everyone uses some kind of input handling routine. That client's application wasn't particularly well written either. There were gosubs being exited with GOTO's. Occasionnally a stack overflow error would appear in the Universe error log file. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
