Re: Upgrading to Notabene K accentuates problem with U2

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Paul,
In case Carl doesn't weigh in, you could try cutting and pasting WCAF as a
separate program file, then running it. No help key required for that. (You
understand that you would exclude the smiley faces (ascii 02) at the start
and end of the frame.)
I don't see how the helpkey could be involved at all. Either it launches
the frame or it doesn't. Are you sure that you have the WCAF syntax
correct? Since it counts the words in the first file, it sounds like a
syntax problem.
