  probably for the clear screen routine... that or the delay routine... in  
  fact,  
  the delay routine is the one that lead to all the runtime 200 errors because  
  of the way they did the calibration loop and didn't check if the result was  
  zero before trying to divide it by the number of seconds the calibration  
  loop  
  ran...

   TL> And that's the part I need to learn. ;) Reading FP documentation on

  yeah, there's sample code for web available... i think they're in lazarus...  
  there are a couple of others, too, IIRC...
