Mark,

I don't understand how this change could cause a problem...  If the value is
'correct' at the start of each event pass, why would it not be 'correct'
when referenced (if not at the start of the event-pass)...  Anyway, here's
the event in question (only down thru the offending line)


|Event: Log Call   Called ?:No
|
| ; Edited 8/18/99
| ; ECS DOS "Local-Phone-Button" references deleted
| ; and changes made to reflect addition of Weeder telephone interface
| ; which intercepts touchtones and after 5 seconds of silence, sends
| ; them out in a string prefaced with "O" (Letter Oh, not zero), and
| ; terminated with C/R
|
| If Weeder Telephone IX Is  Disconnected
| Then Event-Exit  Set  True
|
| If Weeder Telephone IX Is Not  None
| Then Weeder T/C I  Set  Weeder Telephone IX
..............rest of code ommitted..........

The last line shown is the line the code "chokes" on...  BTW, Weeder
Telephone IX is defined as type "Telephone-Interface", which is a custom
type.  There each of the ASCII values for 0...9,#,*, CR, are defined.
Item Weeder T/C I is type State-Holder.

There has not been a problem with this code since I put it into place.

Bill
