I tested repeat prior to sending my email about moving the cursor down to Joe and the list. What I tried was QQ="\"[CDWN]\"" Pushkey repeat(qq,br) This didn't work even though it passed the syntax check. Is there a way to have pushkey work with repeat? This would make program this type of thing a lot easier. Richard Kreiss GCC Consulting rkreiss at gccconsulting.net
