Joel, hp920 contains nothing. db.hp920 contains approx. 1 full page of ^@ symbols; 1 page of continuing yyyy^@ groups, and lastly about a page of ^@^@^@, each of this last group of three ^@'s being preceded by a solid black rectangular character that I can't duplicate with the keyboard. If this is the end of the line, so be it. Thanks a bunch for trying.Can you tell me what those pages of symbols are for? Milt
