the following string

the following string ... produces an object with no overlay of variables, what is wrong. Hmmm. I haven't heard of this problem. But, V7.0 was released in April 2002 and there have been several updates since then. Also, no index is generated. If you mean the cross-reference, I also haven't heard of that either. But, I know that the latest releases have no issues with either of these. I got your e-mail earlier today and will take care of that. Jon
