Thanks (& to all the others) I was figuring it must the the monster amount of characters I'm using upo in the debug lines - the problem I have is I need to see a fair amount of data as my program works it's way back & forward....abbreviations become awkward to interpret with such a lot of onscreen info - I guess I could always go & make sure all the debug output columns align & put a bit of paper along the top of my screen with what each column means!
