Hi Dingo,
I have no problem doing anything along the lines of powerscan and writing code.Ami is excellent and intuitive as far as that...
The problem for a complete non programmer is when i get to "looping",the manuals tend to leave out thebasic steps....its little things like the "i" and "{ " and " = = " and "buy=0" that are difficult to figure out.I get the intended logic,its just tought to build on having no foundation...
Appreciate it

Allan
