I think if all the functions you list above accept .NET objects then the scheme I presented can work. For example, PRINT will call object.ToString() and CASE/WHEN will use object.Equals(object). Rob Richard,

If it helps, here is what I believe to be a complete set of BBC BASIC statements which can take a variable type (numeric or string), and therefore won't necessarily issue a 'Type mismatch' error if presented with the output from FNunsuretype: BPUT# CALL (BBC BASIC for Windows only) CASE PRINT PRINT# SYS WHEN Regards, Richard. Rob,
