Ok. I will remove it. Thanks for letting me know.

What exactly did you do, and which line did you add the "foneline" variable to?

Yes. That's it exactly. 1) Display oneline.lst 2) allow the user to choose
between leaving a "oneliner" (thus adding it to oneline.lst) or going to the
main menu. That's it right there.

Hmm. Yeah. That doesn't seem right. I can't recall if my un-modified source
has that issue or not. Reapern66 actually tried to re-write the program. I'm
not trying to place blame, but maybe he missed a few things? BTW, I originally
wrote this program for Mystic 1.07.3. For the record, currently, I absolutely
do not understand the "new" syntax.

 Gr> 

Well, basically, like I said, it _should_ display oneline.lst and offer a
choice between leaving a oneliner or going to the main menu.
Thank you for taking the time to help me out. It's much appreciated.
