Hm..

[Matt]

What's the difference with adding the $ to some things? Like..

Trim to Trim$ for instance?

What's it do?

[Matt]

Trim() returns a varient, Trim$() returns a string

And the difference is..?

I don't know much about these differences.

[Matt]

functionally, nothing.

Variants use uber memory and are slow.
String use not-so-uber memory and are not-so-slow

So using Trim$() is much better than using Trim()?

How much would converting all these sorts of things speed up MS? Any at all?
