Unfortunately this is a units problem where the units are not of fixed length. StrPos is already defined in S02 to be an opaque type that you should not think of as being in any particular units except perhaps "chars at the current Unicode level". Subtracting two StrPos objects gives you a StrLen at the current Unicode level. These might all be represented underneath as byte or codepoint offsets, but the user should not rely on it. Larry
