BAGGAGE.PM

 Okay, I found the problem. It's an initialization issue. I realized that the
bags.dat file needed to be created, so I created an empty one manually, just
SAved an empty file with that name. Turns out this is not the right way to get
started: the right way is to run baggage.pm,1 which creates a proper bags
file.

  Any ideas on the best way to automatically initialize the bags file (since
it is on my ramdrive, it's erased every power-off)? Using startup.int to define
a block somewhere and run baggage.pm,1 seems a bit much. I suppose autoexec.bat
could create the file with the minimum necessary content. Would that be the
ascii 196 and a number?
  Anyway, the program was not at fault: user error. HB
