It's being read with the following function:

Function ReadEntry(I:Integer):Boolean
Var
  Ret : Boolean = False
  Fp  : File
Begin
  fAssign(Fp,ListName,66)
  fReset(Fp)
  If IoResult = 0 Then
    Begin
    fSeek(Fp,(I-1)*SizeOf(Entry))
    If Not fEof(Fp) Then
      Begin
        fRead(Fp,Entry,SizeOf(Entry))
        Ret:=True
      End
    fClose(Fp)
  End
  ReadEntry:=Ret
End

It's writing the same whether the padrt() is there or not...

There's nothing that I'm finding that would limit the string to 5 characters.

Thanks for taking a look at this.
