I'll let the previous post be the limit of the portion of the filtered listing I include. The revised main part of the program is:


 For bse = 3 To 36
   Text1.Text = Text1.Text & bse & crlf
   st = bse * bse * bse
   fin = st * bse
   p = nxtprm(st)
   Do
     DoEvents
     s4$ = base$(p, bse)
     good = 1
     For i = 2 To 4
       If InStr(s4$, Mid(s4, i, 1)) < i Then good = 0
     Next
     If good Then
        p1 = fromBase(Left(s4$, 1), bse)
        If prmdiv(p1) = p1 And p1 > 1 Then
           p2 = fromBase(Left(s4$, 2), bse)
           If prmdiv(p2) = p2 Then
             p3 = fromBase(Left(s4$, 3), bse)
             If prmdiv(p3) = p3 Then
               Print #2, bse & "  " & s4 & "  " & p1 & Str(p2) & Str(p3) & Str(p)
             End If
           End If
        End If
     End If
     p = nxtprm(p)
   Loop Until p > fin
 Next bse
