is it possible to compare retreved strings from PRGGET$()? for example: IF PRGGET$()=="@MAP00" then.. it lets me print it, but not compare it i have literary been trying everything i can think of to get the funtion to work. PLEASE HELP!

PRGEDIT 1,1 PRGINS "ABC" PRGEDIT 1,1 A$=PRGGET$() FOR I=0 TO LEN(A$)-1 C$=MID$(A$,I,1) PRINT ASC(C$),C$ NEXT A$="ABC" FOR I=0 TO LEN(A$)-1 C$=MID$(A$,I,1) PRINT ASC(C$),C$ NEXT
