Good ideas. Thanks.
I guess I'm still trying to do things the old way. Like someone once told me: "There are more good programmers brain-damaged for life by BASIC than by any other language in the history of computing." Given that I am a self-taught BASIC programmer, my case of "brain-damage" is probably more severe than average.

Marian,
Mark makes some good points. I would add this:
Unless I am working with huge 100's of MByte files, I always read the contents of a file into memory first, then sort it out from there.
Likewise, I would move from card to card, fld to fld and store data in a variable, then write to disk.
I also find I *rarely* need to work with arrays, as using List data (variables with lines with tab delimited items) are almost as fast, and much easier to debug as you can see the data in the debugger easily.
On occasion it is necessary to work with arrays-- math and custom props sets, but I generally try and leave that type of work to Dar ;-)
on mouseUp answer file "Choose a txt file:" if it is empty then exit to top put it into tFilePath put URL ("file:" & tFilePath) into tMyData --> DO STUFF TO MY DATA
--> NOW SAVE MY DATA put tMyData into URL ("file:" & tFilePath) end mouseUp
