Thanks for the info; you're absolutely right about PROCOMM being the ticket to
ride.  It's a very nice program, much better than PC-Talk and my two versions
of KERMIT.  I wish I had been using it previously.  Comes from my lack of use
of MS_DOS type boxes!  

The program is loading nicely now & have almost had the sucker run.  I just
have to figure out how to load a table into an array using EBForth.  
That's another new thing for me.  I'll give CREATE a try, but am a bit confused
about how to do repetitive things while "creating".  Anyways thanks & bye.
