Mark,

Thanks for the reply.

As to having any ideas about TEXT on leapord, I'm kinda clueless, since I
don't own one and didn't spend but a few minutes looking over the info.
I'll go back to the site and see what I can dig up and think about it for a
day or two.  The one thing I think I remember is it (commands) have to go
via RS-232 to the leapord; not via the ADI buss (thru the ocelot or another
leapord?).

I'll let you know what I find out.

Bill
