Yes I did at the end of the source file after END

I then noticed that L% was already in use so I've changed your
supplement code to V%. I also added O%.

That stopped the errors and space was created in the machine code but
the text was wrong. Penny dropped. Insertion needed at O% not P%.

 DEF FNid
 SYS "XOS_ReadVarVal","Basic$File",O%,255,0,3 TO ,,V%
 P% += V% : O% += V%
 =0

Looks good at the moment, need to test it more.

Thanks.

Bob.
