It's definitely worth the download.  I'll get to it soon.  Right now
I'm working on a graphics program in vb.  You place lines, circles,
and squares on a form. You can move them around and resize them and
whatnot.  Everything is done with the keyboard.  It's the only
graphics program I've ever seen that barely uses the mouse at all.  I
just figured out a way to have an undo feature this afternoon by using
the windows clipboard. Pretty clever sometimes, hehe.  At any rate,
When you are finished editing your image, it spits out vb line( ) and
circle ( ) statements for recreating the images in your programs.


Your example code worked like a charm :D  The putenv( ) statement did
the trick.

Funny, I tried setting the value of LFN=3Dy with setenv( ) and it didn't
work at all.

Thank you for your help.
