gee, thanks guys. well, I'm using a //c not a GS. the strange thing is that I can insert (copy & modify) as many new entries as I want but I cannot create new ones at the end of the list. strange isn't it. well, I took courage and bought aw 5.1..... all I need now is more memory... bah! hope that solves the problem! --- it's 10 O'clock... do you know where your vectrex is?
