Thanx Bernie, David and Robert, I'd forgot about sprint(). It's done the
trick.

For Robert,
The conversion I'd been using was

   sequence my_inf
   integer temp, string_address, ok

      my_inf = {2600, 1522, 5439872} -- values filled during runtime

      for i = length(my_inf) to 1 by -1 do
        temp = my_inf[i]
        if temp = 0 then
          my_string = "0" & my_string
        else
          while temp != 0 do
            my_string = ((((temp/10)-(floor(temp/10)))*10)+48) & my_string
            temp = floor(temp/10)
          end while
         end if
         my_string = " " & my_string
      end for

      string_address = allocate_string(my_string)
      ok = c_func(SetWindowText, {window_handle[5], string_address})


Now who would use anything as complicated as sprint(my_inf) when they could
do something as simple the above 

Thanx again (I promise I'll check Library.Doc in future)
