Indeed it does! :-)

End of the program, a line that says =A$

It would be interesting to trap this and see what A$ points to. In 
addition, &038C0004 is what? That's ROM space IIRC, so I wonder... Is 
this BASIC falling over?

The ON ERROR call. Which, uh, fails.

Cascading error, whoo! Haven't seen one of those in ages. I love the 
lack of space between "at" and the address, and the percent-zero? Don't 
tell me Acorn were dopey enough to try to use MsgTrans for critical 
errors? Heck, even Windows wets itself in English, if you're unlucky 
enough to see a non-English version of XP bluescreening...

Like you say, "BANG!".

Ah, 3.11. Mmmm... <scratches head> I'm not sure I have 3.11 on a machine 
I can hook to anything. So I'll leave it to somebody else to WhichMod.


Out of interest - JGH - what did the FS Op actually return? Should there 
perhaps be a dummy value inserted instead of just ENDPROCing?


Best wishes,

Rick.
