    Hi, Garry.  When/if you relocate that file, look at where the
 # sign is in relation to the characters it is associated with.  If
 it leads, e.g., #1 or #VariableName, then it if a file number
 identifier.  If it follows the variable, as in VariableName#, then
 it tells the compiler that the variable is a double-precision
 (8-byte) floating point number.  If one or more # signs are
 contained in quotes, preceded by the words PRINT USING, as in
 PRINT USING "#,###"; VariableName  then it acts as a placeholder
 for formatted numeric text for screen or printer output.
    There may be other uses that slip my mind.  Post an example if
 the above doesn't fit your context.
