Thanks for the suggestion, Andrew, but putting it into binary format is just what I'm trying to avoid. I think many net users are not familiar with, or don't have access to, FTP and thus cannot handle binary file transfers. And also, to put it on SCREEN-L FILELIST it has to be in some sorta text format. And so I'll keep a-searchin'.
