for B+, you can initialize the string you are passing in retStr$ by setting it to a certain # of spaces. so for your example, you can set tileWidth$=" " and then you should start getting back values. im not sure the ramifications of this though since in theory its not supposed to work. the proper way to do it is to use a bank for retStr$ instead of a string. you can see some working declarations at:
