Re: ex.err not being created
Thanks Greg, Juergen and Robert for the advice. The program is a short one
and is actually error free, so it runs from a DOS prompt properly. When I
run it in MEditor some sort of error is generated but, as you say, no ex.err
results, but MEditor looks for ex.err and reports that it can't be found.
Probably MEditor isn't seeing the program close properly, or perhaps I'm not
returning to system properly but not as an official error. Probably the
latter. It was just a little test program so I'll work on something more
substantial and see how that goes.
