Thanks Michael !

There is still so much I need to learn about Cobol. This looks very 
promising.

One thing I am still worried about. Is there a way around the 255 
character limit? So for instance I might want to do something like this:

<p> MyWriting </p>

were the content being swapped in place of MyWriting is several page 
worth of text.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thanks again
