You're right, I was confused because I couldn't find it in the online help.  
I did try it after the first response I got and it worked fine.

Well, there are a couple of things about the ASCII chart TSR that I'd still 
like to know about, like...
1) How do you know what number to use in the line "x& = SETMEM(-700000)" to 
release the unused memory?  Another example in the online help says -500000.
2) In the line "POPUP KEY CHR$(8,30,247)", what does the 247 mean?
Thanks,
