Yes. In this "pseudo-code" notation, e.g. , "<" and ">" ALWAYS stand for
real guillemets.

  You're not "Blind_eXecuting" anything; you're just putting content
  in a Save/Get -- there is no Q2 to complement the Blind_eXecute, so XyWrite
  could go bananas here

Michael, make the BX DIRQ2 command _last_:

... NR BC BX dirQ2 

I'm just curious, why the func FFs? Why do you need to force a screen refresh,
which is what that does? BTW, do you have a DeFault DR= spec in SETTINGS.DFL?
What does it say? If you don't have one, you should have one...

Change this around, and then tell us what anomalies persist. I don't think
Tame has anything to do with it. And to attribute any bad action to setting
 is ridiculous. That's a completely passive assignment -- same
as if you said . Does nothing, means nothing (in this
context), cannot POSSIBLY have any effect -- *unless* it is improperly coded.

When you quote from STARTUP to an Email, do this: copy STARTUP to a temporary
window, put your cursor at TopFile, and command "<12B". That will
turn the whole thing into pseudo-code. Then Paste that into your Emailer. No
hand editing required, and the formatting will be precise. (Lots of strange
space chars up above...)
