It looks like you are using SPECIAL and STARTPOS as paired dummy buffers to walk across the SPECIAL.PARTS, each iteration only searching the "remainder" from where you left off. That's a little counter-intuitive :) Maybe better nomenclature would make that more apparent. Like Startpos and Currentpos ? I can see why you got this response however, because at first I thought you were wrong again Jason ;) then I read the code again and it hit me what you were doing. Will
