Ronald, Sorry, don't use my first attempt - it had an error. You'd need the updated version that used itemoffset to delete the the specific number in the list, rather than it's position. To see what was used in each loop in real time, you can either put y or answer y To see the choices made retrospectively, just put y and CR after tSelected within the loop before the end repeat and then use answer tSelected or put tSelected after the end repeat.
