Well, it does appear to be a problem with writing the temporary file
(and the log file, too.) I'm sorry though, I'm at a loss to explain
the WHY of it. Just in case it may help, the filenames the program
uses are pretty much hardwired. In other words, it doesn't just
write out to 'log.e', but specifically to 'c:\log.e'. If T: is the
name of the drive you normally use, you may want to try changing all
references to "c:\" to "t:\", just to see if it works.

Also, are you running under pure DOS, NT, or Win95? Hmmm... with
some more info, I think I might be able to work around this.

I can't even get this thing to run -- it gets to the opening screen and
prompt, but when I type in something and press enter I get a "bad file
number (-1)" error. Apparently, the permissions on my computer won't allow
me to create that temporary .E file at the root of the C:\ drive. Here's the
complete contents of the EX.ERR file:

T:\CMD\E!.EX:309 in procedure QwertyJunK_Main()
bad file number (-1)
    xqStatementToLog = {}
    xqStatementToEx = {}
    xqnext_fn = -1

. called from T:\CMD\E!.EX:336

Global & Local Variables

 T:\CMD\E!.EX:
    xqCurrFNum = 0
    xqlog_fn = -1
    xqPrompt = 32' '
    xqtemp = {48'0',48'0',48'0',48'0',48'0',48'0'}


Be seeing you,
