 As official an answer as we might get

without calling Leonard and getting an answering machine:

From the Plus/4 PRG: "25 FORMULA TOO COMPLEX - current calculation is too long or contains too many expressions in parenthesis."

In short, it'll have to be broken into two statements. Find the first occurance, assign it to a variable, then use the variable in the search for the second occurance:

10 A$="*123*"
15 A1=INSTR(A$,"*")
20 A2=INSTR(A$,"*",A1+1)

By using LEN(A$) and a DO:LOOP sequence we can search for even more instances.
