Eric; thanks for your help and your message.  Unfortunately, if I
understodd you correctly, this is precisely one of my problems.  If
I stay on the current line, in application mode, as I'm using Artic
3.03, it reads both columns at the same time, so you get bits and
pieces, one line from each column, as you're reading across the
line, rather than up and down like columns are written.  I need a
program that will let me know tow things.  One, when I've reached
the end of one column and begin another, at what cursor point, etc.
Then, I need to know how many rows are in each column, in order to
find out if there are the same amount of rows in each column.  What
is your program like?  Would your program, or any other program
you're familiar with, help solve these problems?  I've talked with a
few programmers, and none seem to be able to help.  Any help or
insight you could give me would be most appreciated, Beth.
