About the concat: I will follow your hint of not using percent-signs at the position of the destination variable, thanks. Excellent example of yours by the way about assigning a value to "nul"! Single character names: you are totally right, in my daily work I never use these! But in my example I use...

The second one, using the default VAREXPLICIT=0, comes up with something I did not expect. [color=green]//Snippet 1: //Re-start here using <F8> Let>VAREXPLICIT=1 let>a=b let>b=c let>x=%a%...
