   Howdy! Daryl,   
      
   Hope You're doing better now, since the 2 ER visits You wrote about in   
   another echo.   
      
   Before You got Licensed as a Amateur Radio Operator did Your Friends   
   You a LID ?    My Friends did.   I was known as LID VANCE by the Hams   
   Radio Operators in High School many months before I took my Novice exam   
   the next summer.

   I can write simple batch files.   
   I never wrote one with Error Checking, or IF THEN statements in it.   
      
   I can write Programs in CBM BASIC, BASICA, and Q-BASIC.   
   (I never had QuickBasic, but I have seen lots of programs in the FIDO   
   QUIK-BAS Echo)   
      
   Some of which I am very proud of (After re-editing and re-editing them)   
   like the one I made to calculate how many gallons of liquid was in a   
   round tank that was on its side.   
      
   And one I figured out how to print labels on Avery paper that had   
   3 labels across the page, from a file made for Tractor-Feed Label   
   paper, that had Name, Address, and 2 (maybe 3?) other lines of data   
   before the next part of the file that started with the next Name.....   
      
   My problem is every time I pat myself on the back I injure my wrist,   
   Elbow and shoulder.
