Randy, I would like to thank you very much for your help on this project, 
this information you have given should make my job of getting a high-speed
data-to-basic string variable routine much faster then the way I was doing
it before in basic.  Im going to slightly modify your idea in that Im going
to assign the variable a$ and give it about 200 charectors in lenght.  Then
instead of altering the lenght of this entry in the table, I will just copy
the needed bytes, leaving the rest of the string untouched.  With the 
use of the basic LEFT$(a$,peek(lenght)) should work quite niclely.  Thanks
again.
