It still seems to me you're doing a simple kind of encoding, albeit a simple one. After all, you still need to choose a delimiter character (rather than a delimiter string as with here strings) that doesn't appear in the identifier. If that's the case, why is it a problem to simply let WRITE-on-a-string-port (as suggested by Matthew) figure out the quoting for you? -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
