   Rob, I read through many BASIC programs I downloaded and learned some tricks   
   from some of them to help me when writing code.   
   BASIC and Batch code is as far as I could understand.   
      
   I remember thinking that a Scanner would help entering maagazine pages of code   
   , thinking computer aided whatever would take the hard part of entering several   
   pages of code but never learned to do that after buying a scanner.   
   That was years ago in my thinking    
      
   That Print#4 idea was one idea I saw in someones code and I used it a lot in a   
   Menu to select outpur to Screen or Printer often.   
   Learned that trick from Commodore 64 code.
