    I am editing the .INI file, but everything I type after a # sign is
    ignored (as stated in the PDF file that came with the macro). Under
    the "Material" field, I want to put "11GA 316LSS #4". #4 is the
    finish, but 4 doesnt show up due the the # sign. Is there anyway I
    can get 4 to show up? Is there a way to change the ignore character
    to something else besides the # sign?

    \ slash doesnt work. I also tried / slash, $, %, @, !.

    Is this written in the .dll file what the comment symbol is? I would
    have chosen a symbol u would never use.

    Well, I need the # symbol to show "Number" 4 finish. Is there another
    character that looks like the #?

    Theres no way to recompile the source, and make a new .dll that has
    another symbol for comments?

    This is just a shot in the dark, because I have no idea what Prop2 is,
    but have you tried one of the following:

    1) If # is 'forbidden' in a routine: use CHR$ version
    2) if # is comment char: encapsulate in quotations
