Thanks, C. K.  I got it working.  Now I have a mini-alarm clock.  For my
use, I won't bind it because I can just hop in and change the A SINGLE LI=
NE
to reflect the time and another (maybe) to change the track.  Then, I can=

leave the computer on and wake up with my favorite CD.  (Of course, I can=
't
distribute it because I launch the CD externally, but its good enough for=

me right now).

I should have seen the illogic in my buggy program, but I was rushing. =

That's not something a relatively new programmer should do.  But this
brings up a good point.  I wrote that code, buggy as it was, in less than=

five minutes.  Euphoria is fast to write in!  I can't even do my homework=

that fast!

Lastly, as a conceptual issue (explaining how would be way over my head
right now), but can I use Euphoria to write TSRs?

Thanks again.
