Still trying to load TSD100.BX.
I tried LaddieAlpha: no luck, same file name error.
I tried LaddieCON: no luck but this time LaddieCON reported that it was unable
to load file named
TSD100.BY
Note the different extension (.BY).
Why is RXCMGR asking for a file with the .BY extension?

Bob, I believe you need to rename your TSD101 file to be TSD101.BX
