I understand, although, I'm pretty sure the application Mark wants this for
is something for the web... not needing any kind of browse code, just plain
lookup... and yes, I didn't mention it, but my variable lookup code is also
on a CALL table. All I wondered about was why it sounded like you thought
you had to create a processing table on-the-fly so to speak just to GOSUB
one of 36 lines. All clear now.

And PS yes, it is a cumbersome group of lines to write the first time, but
with F8,C,ENTER,ENTER it only takes about 2 or 3 minutes to write even that
first time. :-)
