Another issue: Changing one variable instantly changes the value of another variable

[SMcNeill]

First thing I'd try is to pass via a temp variable:

SUB CleanPath (tempPath$)
Path$ = tempPath$

The issue is probably from a call such as :

ClearPath temp$

With passing matching types with SUB/FUNCTION, we pass the offsets to the variable and not the value of the variable. If temp$ is passed, Path$ **IS** temp$.
