David, OK, so this suggests the algorithm, or internal method, used to coerce a var to text in the OB commands isn't the same one used by the String command. Sort of like other common commands I wind up with my dbs. How many hex to number methods can you find in a big database? Or how many ways to test if you are running under windows might be a better one.
As you said at the start, I wonder if it really matters in practice?
