I assume when you use the word TOTAL, you are using a label to
describe an atom element value in this sequence, and not the value "TOTAL",
a string. If this is the case, simply accessing the second element of the
above sequence will solve your problem. For example, if the value
{ 0, TOTAL } is stored in a sequence-type variable cum_total, you
state:

atom final_total (at beginning of program)

final_total = cum_total[2]

This will store the second element of the sequence in variable
final_total. You then display final_total. :)

Duke, this is where I am going to need to see your source. Chances are
your input (if you are using get(0) for example), is not an atom, but a
sequence. Can you send it to me at moggie at interlog.com? I'll personally
look it over and send you back the corrections, with explanations.

Thanks!
