Terry:
 Try this...
  LOCATION% = 60
  DO WHILE LOCATION%<=79
   LASTLOCATION% = LOCATION%
   LOCATION% = INSTR(LOCATION%,A$,CHR$(32))
  LOOP
  B$ = LEFT$(A$,LASTLOCATION%)
  C$ = RIGHT$(A$,(LEN(A$)-LASTLOCATION%)


 I am doing this from the top of my head so I am not entirely sure if
 it will work as advertised.  But it should point you in the right
 direction.
