Thanks for the replies. In the end I just plonked in some inline code. Not as elegant but will run faster that way. As for GOTOs and GOSUBs, I understand they can be much more efficient then procedures and such like, but you need a lot of discipline to keep your code tidy ...

Hi, I'm fairly new to FreeBasic (after a few decades of absence from PowerBasic) and spoiled by PHP. I've been looking through the manual and couldn't find out if a function can return an array, even if it can be passed one. Any ideas please?
