The definition for the flags field in the manual is incorrect and should be: f% = FINDFIELD(a$,start%,no%,flags%) flags% meaning (can be combined) 0 case independant 16 case dependant 0 search backwards from current rec 1 forwards from current rec 2 backwards from end of file 3 forwards from beginning of file. Maybe someone with the new 1MB/2MB S3a programming manual can confirm that Psion have changed the section referring to this command?
