Mark;

You cought my typo. Frame is initialized as a null dictionary.
The function call Buff=GetFrame(1,Frame) returns Buff as an array of
singleton tupples. i.e ((1,),(2,)...(n,)). I have to double check
tommorow, but I believe Visual Basic returns a double valued array such
as Frame[0][0]=1,Frame[0][1]=0,and Frame[1][0]=2, Frame[1][1]=0,etc.
This Object was written by Roper Scientific a few years ago, and
updated as needed over the years.

On another note. The examples I have discribed work under Pywin-129,
but not subsequent versions under WinNT 4.0.
