Self correction: to display the text at center, you need to say: Output row,119-dim(string)*3,string BUT ONLY on a TI-92. This is because on a 92 the disp screen is run by PIXELS, not characters like an 85 or 82. On those calcs you use Bryan's method as so: Output row,(whatever number is the center column of the screen)-dim(string)/2,string Thanks to Michael VDK for noticing the error in my post. Paul DeLeeuw
