I just wanted to add that it is not only caused by the FIND.EXE, but I also noticed the same problem with DOSKEY.EXE. It too causes the same fault, but the redirection (nul) prevents the fault just like Duncan pointed out with FIND. I imagine there are number of other executables that would

You cannot faithfully map year and week to ts since years do not have the same number of weeks and ts can only represent regular series. If you wish to use ts for this and you want it to be faithful then use ts(x) and 1 will represent the first week, 2 the second, etc. Then if o is a Date class
