In other words, you're seeing the output from the previous (manual)
run of the BAT file, not the RTF code from the current ("different")
input file? If so I don't understand how that can be, because
SA/RTF erases any existing copy of the output file before it writes
and launches the BAT file. Or are you saying something else?

When you have a moment, try this test version of SA/RTF. (DECODE it
and CoPy it into your U2 file near the top of the file; issue
LOADHELP to reload U2.) I've inserted a PAUSE in the
manufactured BATch file. If you see the pause and are prompted to
hit a key to continue, then the BATch file is running; if not, not.

Let me know, please.
