Brian,

A few thoughts:

1.  You are using dataLine$ a few lines before you dim'ed it.  I'm not sure
if it's a problem but it's poor practice in any case.

2.  keyWord$ has not been dim'ed at all.  That's why the compiler thinks its
an unknown statement.

3.  restOfLine$ has not been dim'ed either.

4.  You probably already realized that:
' wnumx = VAL( restOfLine )
 '  wtx$  = MID$(restOfLine,3)
Failed to work because they refer to restOfLine  which is a different
variable than restOfLine$.

Hope this helps
