Thanks for the info. It would be nice to have the font height as a standard command , not a hidden/commented out one!

Tmap looks good, but I have not used it. So I can not really say which is faster.
My method uses each letter of the words ascii value to calc an offset in a 'branch' which points to the next branch. Looping thru the words characters ends up the position of the data.
A clever aspect of this is that A,AN,AND and ANDREW use the same branches.
I just did a rough test. Looking thru The complete work of shakspeare (142160 different words) for the word SUPER .I asked it to look for it 100,000 times and it took 1.45 seconds.
