I am puzzled. I just added a command to one of the buttons in
my GUI database to delete a file: system("delete test.xxx",2)

When I click that button, the file gets deleted, and there is
no flicker or other problem. More surprising, if the file is not found, a
neat "file not found" appears at the top of the screen without changing from
mode 256, and you continue on without trouble.

Ok, the truth is I have been secretly deleting your files at
random every time you play my concentration game...didn't notice,
did you?
Bwahahaha!!!
