   Dave, I believe something like this might help you out for a starting point:   
      
   //   
   // Will search for a spaces in a string and replace it with %20/   
   // Coded by Robert Wolfe    
   //   
      
   #include "util.wch"   
   #include "cmdline.wch"   
      
   if (GetNode() = 0) then   
       LoginSystem()   
   end if   
      
   dim string1 as string = "Mr. John Doe, Sr."   
   dim string2 as string = ""   
   dim char as string = ""   
   dim index as integer = 0   
      
   for index = 1 to len(string1)   
       char = mid(string1, index, 1)   
       if char = " " then char = "%20"   
       string2 = string2 + char   
   next index   
      
   print "string1 = "; string1   
   print "string2 = "; string2   
      
   When run using 'wcrun.exe -r' the code yields the following:   
      
   string1 = Mr. John Doe, Sr.   
   string2 = Mr.%20John%20Doe,%20Sr.   
      
   As a sidenote, I always include the LoginSystem() routine in all of my   
   programs so that I am not forced to log into the BBS when I want to run the   
   WCX outside of the BBS.  Hope this helps.
