Yes and no. It's certainly the most accurate, but some of the instruction descriptions leave much to be desired. For example, if you happen to have POO (I always liked that abbreviation :-) handy, look up "TR" and see if you the description gives you any clue as to what the command is actually intended for. It's perfectly accurate, just not what you'd expect. TR is my favorite fractured description in POO; what's yours? jim frost software tool & die madd@std.com
