I like this format. KISS. It's easy to read in lines in BCX (or any other BASIC) and having the first character be a code to the content of the line makes it real easy to decide what's in the line. Still don't know what to do with it, but I think this format is really a good approach to organizing the data until a more sophisticated approach is needed. David Garner
