Yes, I knew about the <b>* SOMETHING</B> !

But now I have the opposite problem . . . since yours is so much faster, I would need to run it almost three times (because the variables can range from 0 to whatever SOMETHING is scaled to). Should I just run it three times in succession, or do I need to go to a WORD variable for SOMETHING? (I need to scale SOMETHING through as much of that time span as possible.)
