Back in the old days, I took DBASE from an Osborne and worked over with ZSID to run on an H19. As I recall, all you have to do is find that escape sequence and patch its count byte to zero. It will then not print out that escape sequence after every character. After quite a while, I discovered that the dBASE from the Osborne was missing an overlay (I forget which) but I wasn't able to determine if it was shipped without the overlay or if I merely missed it in the upload (the Osborne was long gone by then). I think the missing overlay had something to do with the MODIFY command. =============================================================================== Roger Ivie 35 S 300 W Logan, Ut. 84321 (801) 752-8633 ===============================================================================
