I use this parameter all the time. I think what Nancy means is not that you
have to quote an expression.... But rather that the parameter is an
expression... So if as your expression, you want to use a literal then *it*
would have to be quoted as in "7" or "5", etc.  If you truly use an
expression  (and it isn't the sub class of an expression called a literal,
but rather an actual expression that will boil down and resolve into a
literal number) than you do *not* want to quote it.  For example AA, BB,
my_big_declared_variable, or even 15/AA, would all *not* require, and even
balk if quotes where used.

I guess the best way to think of it is to continue putting quotes around
literals as always, whether they are part of an expression or stand by
themselves.  And in the end run I'm guessing again that what Nancy meant was
the final result of the expression after filePro resolves it must be an
integer within the limits of the size of the listbox (or menu, or @br key,
array, etc.,etc.
