Printing a line at a time is clever too, If I'd even thought of it I would have used string functions to to do it but your POKE VAR method would have to be quicker. It does fix the character to "O" but that's OK. I have wondered whether using just 79 rather than &H4F is faster, but never tested it. I guess that CHR$(a$) would also work? But slower. Using: MewM(x, y) = (adj = 3) Is also something I never do, I would use IF THEN. Did I say I'm not a programmer? MMEdit's crunch just removes REMs, blank lines and formatting spaces I believe. I tried to keep the variable name lengths short but still have a meaning. Removing spaces within the program also helps I believe: a=b not a = b. Thanks again Tom, I'll have a play again this arvo if I get the time. Bill Keep safe. Live long and prosper.
