Annie,

Glad you have found the Group useful.  Offhand, I think that if you 
look at the Mid$() function and related topics in the E-Basic Help 
facility you will find enough to get you started.

Stock reminder:  1) I do not work for PST.  2) PST's trained staff 
take any and all questions at https://support.pstnet.com , and they 
strive to respond to all requests in 24-48 hours, so make full use of 
it.  3) In addition, PST offers several instructional videos on their 
YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/PSTNET ).  4) If you do 
get an answer from PST staff, please extend the courtesy of posting 
their reply back here for the sake of others.
