Dear James, I think I see sort of kind of what you are trying to do. I've made use of the LET m/l call, but I've always let BASIC handle the error trapping trough an ON ERROR trap. Couldn't you do that? Just set the ON ERROR trap to go directly back into your machine language routine. From there you could grab the error code and the pointer to where it occured (FBA3h). You might be able to bypass BASIC altogether by having the ON ERROR pointer (FBA3h) set to your own routine. Maybe??? Are you trying to read user input from a remote terminal over the RS232, and supply them with prompts for variables? -- Tracy
