When I have to build component strings, One trick I use is to use multiple lines so I can see all the steps in the debugger. put "rainy day" into var01 get var01 get it & space & quote & the short name of this card & quote & quote get it & cr & "Time to do more Rev" put it into msg -- now stopping in the debugger will let you -- examine the result of all of this and make corrections breakpoint get "fld" & space get it & quote get it & var02 & quote this is easier to inspect all of the amp's until you get used to doing it in your head. The code runs just as fast as you will need it to go.
