   Correct, its not the right approach and you need to move beyond the hobbyist   
   mindset to reusable functions.   
      
   The function you are looking for is generally documented as:   
      
      find.last()   
      
   There are numerous examples for a variety of languages including simple   
   examples for BASIC variants such as VB   
      
      https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/168836   
      
   If you have difficulty adapting an example for use with wcBASIC come back   
   and post your code.
