-=> A Communique from Jon Hunt to All was being thrown out the Airlock <=-
 JH> Hi All,
 JH> The INI file might have something like...
 JH> [DATA]
 JH> G:\COMMS\DATA\ADDRESS.DAT
 JH> So I would (in Clipper) read in that INI file and assign "ADDRESS.DAT"
 JH> to a variable that I could use throughout my program.
try going into help and searching for and topic called
TInifile
or
Inifiles Unit
something like that
cause it is WAY easier to use but the file would look like
{DATA}
Address.dat_loc=G:\comms\data\address.dat
etc
hope ive helped there
 JH> ... Could you hold off a vampire with a sunlamp?

 Sun_lamp.Create(TMe);
 Sun_Lamp.Position := IdMyHands;
 Sun_Lamp.Direction := IdVampire;
 If (Vampire.Status = MbDust)
 then Sun_lamp.Free
 else Me.Status := mbRUNNING;
 how that
