Hello Jean, Hello Ed,
I got the "gethousepos(0, pos)" to work, whoooopie!
If I use it inside a function ":searchhouse" it gets confused, like me hehehe. So I just used it within the body of ":go" and it worked.
I've done initial checking of the data and so far I am getting the right info.
Thank you so much, both of you, for helping and the encouragement was what really kept me going

Vivian
