The 'argument' is passed to >ACMD(do_write) not buf1 and buf2, penname and papername are then set to buf1 >and buf2.

They are split into two strings from the argument. I am not so well versed in code terms as you might be, but I was still right in a sense, wasn't I? I just didn't phrase it properly. Well, it makes some funky thing there by assigning papername to buf1, so I see your point now. Buf1 is pointless, it might as well just use papername and penname and skip buf1 and buf2. My fault for mixing it up with functions that actually use buf1 and buf2 when splitting with two_arguments. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
