I figured while we're building a counting script, might as well make it as capable as possible.

That would be fine, we could put a check (and note for the * multiplier) to reject a negative incrementer if multiplier is *. > > ;!!!!!!Again here as the test to see when to stop the For() loop: > sjcounter > > <= sjcounterend.

So what would you do, after getting the input but before the for() with the win.keys() you'd test-run the math on another for loop, and make sure it ends? When would you stop the loop, and assume it would be a success? 500-1000 loops? Any elegant code would be appreciated =) Thanks Bruce! David Troesch | Atlanta, GA | ICQ# 2333123 Life is short.
