What exactly did you do, and which line did you add the "foneline" variable to?

Yes. That's it exactly. 1) Display oneline.lst 2) allow the user to choose
between leaving a "oneliner" (thus adding it to oneline.lst) or going to the
main menu. That's it right there.

Hmm. Yeah. That doesn't seem right. I can't recall if my un-modified source
has that issue or not. Reapern66 actually tried to re-write the program. I'm
not trying to place blame, but maybe he missed a few things? BTW, I originally
wrote this program for Mystic 1.07.3. For the record, currently, I absolutely
do not understand the "new" syntax.

Well, basically, like I said, it _should_ display oneline.lst and offer a
choice between leaving a oneliner or going to the main menu.
Thank you for taking the time to help me out. It's much appreciated.
