By all means, toss out some more info, Irene. Who knows, you might find a
new way around the problem. I wrote a routine that would create a new file
on the fly under PV-WAVE then run it a couple years ago. I found a better
method to handle it when I looked at the problem a year later.

The Resolve_Routine command is used to compile a procedure
from within another procedure, but for the life of me I
can't figure out *why* you want to do this!? What could
possibly be in the procedure BUILDREF that could be "re-initialized"
by re-compiling that procedure?

Simple minds want to know... :-)

Cheers,

David
