    The only reason is to learn as one never knows when or indeed if what one learns will be useful.

    Create two subroutines one for dot and one for dash. Then in main D will be

    Gosub Dash
    Gosub Dot
    Gosub Dot

    Just as a start.

    With PBP3 you can create user commands so you could have

    D: Dash: Dot: Dot

    which is the only reason I asked.

    With 3 there is arrayread and arraywrite which you could use in this example. But as I am on 2.46 I am in no position to advise.

    Ah OK…..

    Maybe stay where I am then :-)

    Arrays are a hole new minefield for me….. Although I am OK with my Antenna Array on the roof. (Radio Ham)

    Whole lot of learning for me yet!

    BR and TY

    Have a go with gosubs as a start, we can progress to arrays later. I could write examples for you but I believe you will learn more doing it yourself. As always if you need help just ask.

    From the book...
    4.13. Multi-statement Lines

    In order to allow more compact programs and logical grouping of related commands, PBP supports the use of the colon ( to separate statements placed on the same line. Thus, the following two examples are equivalent:

    W2 = W0
    W0 = W1
    W1 = W2

    is the same as:

    W2 = W0 : W0 = W1 : W1 = W2

    This does not, however, change the size of the generated code.
