Change_Invisible had NOTHING to do with it! CI is merely a cosmetic
alternative to CH. Furthermore, the notion that CI works in some cases, CH in
others, is simply incorrect and should be erased from memory. The "solutions"
were:

EH=0 -- turn off Error Help, which generates message boxes and other intrusive BS
ES=1 -- turn off error recognition and reporting
WA=0 -- reduce the WAit time after errors are reported to zero

Otherwise, the program wasn't altered in any significant respect.
