Re: Weird error message

I use wee. But I have some additional information as the result of successive elimination.

 
integer insert_nmbr 
object key 
sequence extracted_files 
 
elsif key = 22 then   --     *******************    CTRL V  INSERT 
      extracted_files = dir("/home/allen/Extracted/") 
      insert_nmbr = 1 
--       intervening functional code uses 'insert_nmbr' as a 'while' condition, but commenting all that out made no difference 
-- 
-- 
      insert_nmbr = wait_key 
end if 

In the above snippet, I have deleted some commented lines that performed the function of inserting a subtree (immaterial).
If the line 'insert_nmbr = wait_key' is commented out, the problem disappears, in both the abbreviated test program and the full-blown program. The error message is not only not indicative, but appears in very strange places.
