Unknown or missing variable at line 17 The user$ isn't defined at that point. Perhaps modifying the code to check for the existence of <Pluto$Dir>, <News$Dir>, and <Organizer$Dir would clear the problem. SYS "OS_ReadVarVal", vname$, buf%, -1, 0, 0 TO ,, R2%,, R4% should do the job, returning the length of the variable or zero if the variable doesn't exist. If the return value is zero do not run the reading code on that type of address book. (skip to next) Otherwise it seems to return the expected address information - more than the required information in the case of the organizer results. -- Steve Pampling
