Your samples force me to change the int_var again. I can't do ãthat. I already have the int_var. I just need to subtract it from the users ãminutes, It's that simple. and Yes I under stude what both of you were ãsaying, and like I said, I don't want to change the int_var again and have to ãchange it back again, the sample you gave me work just find. But, Like I ãsaid, your way I have to change my value again, and againããããdopmins is a val that I have a value all ready in. If I use the SET dopmins ã-50 command I'm resetting the value. Do you under stand that. The value thats ãall ready in the int_var dopmins is what I want to subtract, and theres no ãway to do it.ããJoeããP.S.

Therefore what you HAVE to do is 1) create a NEW ãvariable, 2) set it to the NEGATIVE of 'dopmins', and 3) adjust by the ãnew, negative variable. Therefore:ãã # Step #1 -- create NEW variableã INT negative_dopminsãã # Step #2 -- set it to negative of 'dopmins'ã # Note that: 0-dopmins gives -dopminsã SET negative_dopmins 0ã SUB negative_dopmins dopminsã ã # Step #3 -- adjust by ã ADJUST_USER_MINUTES negative_dopminsããNow, this is the third time that this code fragment has been suggested to ãyou as the only practical way to achieve what you want to do. Once by ãmyself, once by Digital man, and now once again. If this isn't good ãenough for you, that's your business. You are free to reject it. But ãplease -- spare us the "poor me didn't get a reply so now I'll come with ãsome attitude" responses, OK?ãã > P.S. Maybe I'm not the only one thats needs an IQ testããNo, I think it *is* only you.ããããã---ã þ Synchronet þ Where we BAJA Rob into writing
