How do I concatenate strings? I want to concatenate FirstName and LastName with a single space between them. The following doesn't work because the string on the bottom of the stack is its maximum length. % concatenate FirstName and LastName. FirstName length LastName length add 1 add string dup 0 FirstName putinterval dup dup length ( ) putinterval dup dup length LastName putinterval % then I pass the resultant string to a subroutine. Or am I asking the wrong question, i.e. am I doing it the wrong way? -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu])|(70441.205@compuserve.com)
