Hi guys. We're off topic already, and touching on some topics that we don't need to be. Let's get back to the geek stuff.
See, this is why I wouldn't want to be a moderator LOL
No offense, Mike

Speak for yourself ... ;-0
Let's stay on topic.
It struck me that you may want to do some sequential file handling instead of building a monster Basic program. That means you would write a program in Basic that sequentially loads your list in text format, and for each line assigns the value to a variable or rather array element. The list itself could be edited as much as you wish in your word processor without worrying about line numbers, variable names, quotes and other issues.It is my intention to obtain this list from the internet, save it to 3 1/2" floppy, copy that to 5 1/4" floppy, and open the file with a word processor and assign the items (all 850 of them) to string variables.

However I never figured out what you intend to do with the list once it is read into Basic. Perhaps that is a secret?
wait a minute... something doesn't add up here. you can't be a computer nerd and have conquests of women at the same time. especially a vintage computer nerd. computer nerds can definitely be into women, but they're too big of losers to actually have conquests.
