Hi Doug: I guess I didn't state my question very clearly so I will try to explain it a little better As was mentioned, if you go into the immediate mode by pressing shift-control-q, you can type the following: print "hello" and then press the enter key and the word "hello" will appear on the screen. However, if you type the above statement and press the numpad enter key, it will do nothing except go to a new line. My question is, then, if you typed something like the following: for i = 1 to 5 print "hello" next and pressed numpad enter after each of those three lines, is there any way to execute them all? one situation where this might be useful is if you have a Do loop consisting of about 5 or 6 statements and you would like to test it in Immediate mode but do not want to have to type them all on the same line. I hope this clears it up. Kevin Huber
