Jerry, there was a discussion about this quite recently, so you can  
search the archives to find it.

The versions that I have are:

function TrimL aString
   return char offset(word 1 of aString, aString) to -1 of aString
end TrimL

function TrimR aString
   retun char 1 to offset(word 1 of aString, aString) -1 of aString &  
word 1 to -1 of aString
end TrimR

Cheers,

Mark
