I'm sure you don't, just as I don't have a problem with the parameter block for KLMD, because I use it a lot. That's not the point; the point is readability for the poor soul who has to read my code five years after I'm dead. BXLE has a good alternative that in my view is much easier to understand, where you don't *need* to remember what goes in which register. And it does need a separate register; not for the count, but for the limit. Brent Longborough Sent from my typewriter - please forgive any typos
