etc etc etc. If I knew what you meant by wrap around then I might have
been able to help?

Hahaha I've still got a C-64 too :) And for anyone who knows of such a
source of info.. I'd also appreciate a copy. I'm a new subscriber, so I
don't know yet, but maybe some of that stuff is covered in the stuff they
give you when you get a ftoomsh account?

This one depends on the language... for example.. FORTRAN uses line
numbers everywhere (every line), but COBOL only uses Numbers for
routines. As for C... there ain't no line numbers at all. if this confuses you,
the best thing to do would be either to take a small course or something in a
couple of languages.. or get someone to sit down and explain them to
you. It'd be so much fun to explain this one with Email going back and
forth (Sarcasm)!

I admire you man.. You got staying power and you aren't afraid to ask
questions.. stick with it.

thgis one passes?
