Hi Mark, that's it. Apparently GetLabel does what I need. my $e = $edit->Append( 998, "&Setup" ); $e->GetLabel; # Setup $e->GetText; # _Setup my $e = $edit->Append( 998, "A_B" ); $e->GetLabel; # A_B $e->GetText; # A__B I fixed it in my code and updated the blog entry I wrote about the whole process. BTW I see you have a blog at http://www.wxperl.co.uk/binaryoasis/ IMHO it would be nice if you added it to http://ironman.enlightenedperl.org/ and to http://perlsphere.net/ to get some more exposure in the Perl community. regards Gabor
