<QUOTE>Xavier .. 



OpenInsight is a 'string' based (not like C) based language.  OI will go from string to numeric and back to string and you don't have to worry .. 



so it is possible to do



A=THIS IS A TEST'

A=2

B=A+1



but if you do 



A=THIS IS A TEST'

B=A+1



you will get a nasty error like



NON-NUMERIC WHERE NUMERIC IS REQUIRED



IF you need to connect to an external (to oi) process (calling one of the window dlls) then you can create (or add to the many) prototype definitions.



Hope this all makes sense to you .. i am definitly NOT a 'propeller head' but there are plenty around to help out if you have a problem.
