Brian,

In the Text Dept. should help.
Then you will need to investigate the Resources dept. for getting and
storing your text resources.

Can you store the programLine$(x) as a string resource? Those are fairly
easy to store and get back.
In that case see the FB 3 example for the Reference Examples, S, "
STR#->INDEX$.Bas" Has save and get routines.

Also see in the TEXT/Fonts  FB 3 "Examples" folder, "Text Resources"
subfolder, for the ticket I bet.

If you are using FB II, similar examples should be in the
examples/reference folder somewhere.
