OK...People...
Imagine a long piece of string...(wait I "am" going somewhere.
Imagine it lying stretched out in front of you.
Pick a point halfway along and imagine drawing a single line on the string. Now before it a short way you have another point, which you put TWO lines on, and a third spot to the right of that first single line, which you can put three lines on.
Ok, so we have a piece of string with three sets of lines. 2 1 3
Now, stretched out, the left end of the string is byte 0000 0000 0000 0000
And the right hand side of the string is byte FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF
Looking at it, 0 -> FF, the single line in the middle, the two-line spot is a short way to the LEFT of the single line and the 3-line sport is to the right.
NOW...important bit,
BEND THE STRING on the single line spot, and fold the left bit above it.
Now, the 2-point spot is ABOVE the 1-spot point, but as the 00 start of the string is above it, the 2-point spot still comes before.

Right, analagy (spelling?) over.
The data goes like this when you open the editor.
BYTE # DATA
00000000 ------->
0000000A ------->
0000000B ------->
And so on, if you open the editor on the piece of data you chose, then that will appear in the TOP-LEFT of the box, there is data to the right and below, and there is data ABOVE.
Try this...go to the line above, and pick the box that is DIRECTLY above the one you originally chose.
Click on it, then right-click on it, and add it to the table of contents (or ALT-T).
Go back to the main window, choose this 2nd number you've just added and open the editor AGAIN.
NOW LOOK AT IT...it's differnet. The box you ORIGINALLY opened isn't in the top left, it's in the line below.
This should make you understand how the editor works. If you took a piece of data halfway along two lines above, then the editor window would look different again.
When someone says 8 columns to the left, they mean that when THEY opened the window, it was slightly different because they found the value after searching for a different one.
IMHO, if you followed the route above and searched for BALANCE, then opened the editor and looked DOWN the window, you would have found Transfer budget/remaining and total wages. And Total Wage Budget would be 8 columns / or bytes to the left/beforehand (line above) total wages.

NOW...I have just spent 20 minutes explaining something that a small amount of common sense should have been able to work out IF you had bothered to put a bit of time in a read and try the stuff that was written before rather than just ask how to do it.
It took me AGES :o playing around with TCM to get a foothold in this, Wougle did great following it up but we both had trial and error when first trying it and learning how the program worked...which is what the HELP files are there to do.
Now...if someone says the above bit of how I described everything is obvious and has posted before on this thread, then they are a moron because they never gave any indication of what they've tried to do and just said "What am I doing wrong"
C'mon guys. You've all been given a brain :eek:, try giving it a bit of exercise.
Next, I will not be spending ANY MORE TIME explaining the process of how it all works, even if I am sent a personal mail UNLESS there is a clear explaination of what has already tried before !!!
Any "How do I do this" questions will be ignored.
Rant Over, sorry. :p (But it bugs me 
)
P.S. Let's hear WHY you want to find this data.
