Hi Brian,

Is the problem that FB^3 automatically converts integers to the appropriate
string. I seem to recall having heard that rumored - I think that encourages
sloppy programming. Microsoft uses it in their Visual Basic. Since I haven't
received my FB^3 yet, I probably shouldn't be responding to this, but????

I think if you change title$ = "Untitled "+n to----> title$ =
"Untitled"+STR$(n%) that it may work.
Don't forget that the STR$ function generates a space in front of it.
