Hi again,

Thanks Max for the help on my SFMArray stuff; got it working.

I need more help on prepending and appending to text.
Robert Purves in the March 1 posting gave a little demo on this.
The "munger" stuff works great on replacing my SFM tags with
RTF code.

I still have no idea on how to call the functions;

fn PrependToHandle(h, s)
fn AppendToHandle (h, s)

I get error messages like "string used when a number was expected"
and "expected and end here fn PrependToHandle ( h, s* )

"s" is defined as a string.

Here's the info from my previous posting;

In a previous post I asked;

How do I call the functions;

fn PrependToHandle( h  as Handle, Insert  as Str255)

fn AppendToHandle( h as Handle, insertMe as Str255 )

Can I call them from within fn ReplaceFormatMarkersByEquivalentRTF( textH as 
Handle )

FB gives me a lot of errors about things already dim'd etc.

I want to prepend the RTFid$= "{
tf1\mac\deff2 "
Then call a FN that makes a font table from the fonts used,
Then call a FN that creates a stylesheet,
other FN's  that calculate Indents, page layout info etc.

THEN replace the SFM tags.

Finally I need to append the final "}" to make it an RTF doc.

I still get errors like "string used when a number was expected"
and "expected and end here"

In  fn AppendToHandle ( h, s )
---------------------------------------

So I need to prepend stuff after calling the functions that calculate
things like the font table etc.
