Yep, should be an added statement (see above).
There's an interesting "return call_proc..." statement too, remove the 
"return".
The two main points are:
- You can't include a conditional thing or from a routine, so that 
dynamic includes can be performed by other processes only;
- Additionally, the various openFile() in the various included files 
should be global (so that the gathered routine_id's are usable) and 
renamed openFile__(), so as not to clash with editor.exw's openFile().
