I wasn't criticizing you... and it's not really im****tant why you
didn't know. What's im****tant is that you seem to be getting on the
right track. If I'd seen the earlier posts I'd probably have been
able to be more helpful.
It's really too bad that if you're using Borland Pascal (this being
c.l.p.b) that you don't have the manuals that came with it. There are
something like 7 inches of them in 9 or so volumes. Not as good for
the beginning programmer as much earlier versions by Borland, but
very, very helpful.
