Maybe I'm doing something wrong, and if so please point me in the right path. When I am preparing to do a list post I select the fractal that I want to post, do a <b> for the .par write to file, and then <t> to bring up the formula for the individual fractal. Does this work all the time? Is this the way to do it? Or should I <z> the screen and write the information down that is shown? Is there another way to do this? I am asking because I do not want to post wrong information (as I just did today) when I am posting to the list. There are enough hassles without me posting garbage. And, just curious, why did I get the "bogus.frm" with the <t> entry on the fractal with full screen display? Shouldn't it have gone to the correct formula? sunfish

You need to go to the <z> screen first (before going to <t>). The problem is that at the point you are looking at the formula, the formula file is still set at the default. Going to the <z> screen causes Fractint to search for the formula name in the available files, and should come up with the correct formula name and file name. Jonathan
