Segment is adx+1.

OD>Ah... Interesting.  I see why Goto10 would use PowerBasic...
GOTO? GOTO! G-O-T-O!!!! We don't need no stinkin' GOTOs!!!! [grin]
TH>It makes BASIC more useable for some of the stuff I do.
OD>Ah, well.. I have to create my stuff externally and make a
OD>library out of it, but I've got batch files and macros
OD>helping me out.. 
I have yet to create an external proceedure. Having a library whould
be nice. PB allows me to include source files which contain a few
favoriate functions, mostly screen/keyboard IO. The largest programs
sorce code is under 200k, and i have not taken a speed hit, yet. [grin]
OD>See ya around!
