Thanks for the suggestions, folks. Firstly, I got the new CT and it works perfectly. So it's now ERC-compliant. Many thanks for that. I posted pic and info at howard's site. I tried various readscripts in a pz3, but nothing's working. I have a horrible feeling LayingBack is right. One thing I tried was inserting an actor line before each RS line. Thought that might work, but no. Ah well, you can't win 'em all. mac
