 Dear Mr. Giacomo Degli Esposti,
    Thank you for the prompt response.  I suppose I will have to sort
this problem out.  Previously I had used the QuickBasic command-line
compiler 4.0.  I am now using the RHide and hoping to get accustomed
to it.  Thanks for your help which I will try out.  It feels just
grand to receive some encouragement in this endeavour.  I will keep
a look-out for you, sir, and feel that I will see you again soon.


 All the best,
 jerome dinsmore     [dinsmore7 AT yahoo DOT com]
