Re: Calling a program without knowing the parms

Scott,

I have read  http://klement.dstorm.net/rpg/pointers.html   only twice so 
far. Do you think this link will help me do what I need to do. I understand 
pointers a little. Is it saying I can take a 100 character field and set a 
pointer to position 10 through 20 of that field?  I understand if pointera 
points to fielda then whatever you do to the one it does to the other, 
value wise.

Thanks
John Ross
