Hi Lew Just FYI, but Drew Speedie had some code in MaxFrame that used filetostr to read in an application's main .prg file. At the bottom of the .prg is a procedure listing of the files in the project. A project hook method updates this listing as files are added/removed. I changed that method to fill a cursor using APPEND FROM and it was significantly and visibly faster.
It depends on the type of file of course.
