    I could not get a few of the GE ones working right, so I had to use MPL
    here is something similar to what I do, using data from the records.112
    file.

    Uses User

    GetThisUser
    OptionalField[4] := ???
    PutThisUser

    or something similar.

    RecUserOptionalField = Record
    Ask : Boolean;
    Desc : String[12];
    iType : Byte;
    iField : Byte;
    iMax : Byte;
    End;

    OptionalField : Array[1..10] of RecUserOptionalField;

    Sorry I don't have the exact details to update the Array value, I've
    only ever done Byte, Boolean, and String updates.

    Yeah, reading the data through the records works well. I'd like to avoid writing directly if there is a GE command I can use with stuffkeys.

    Thanks for your 2 cents!
