   Ok... now how under your example am I supposed to turn that string of   
   characters into a REAL NUMBER?   
      
   If you know another way to do it without VAL great!!!  But, I DON'T want the   
   damn string, I want the real NUMBER....  without the use of VAL the string   
   is WORTHLESS!!!!  Well, unless you know another function to turn the string   
   to a real number...   
      
   I want to get input a char at a time so I can check and make sure each   
   keyboard stroke IS a digit (0..9)....   
      
   Take a minute and think man--your post DOES NOT show how to do it, I can   
   look at it a thousand times and it still will NOT!!!!   
      
   Now, I appreciate your time and energy, but really, lets more on closer to a   
   real answer to my question....  it is always a joy to find those who will at   
   least communicate on programming...   
      
   Warmest regards,
