I would have thought that the WIN_USE flp workaround might have been
helpful, but that doesnt seem to work on QPC2 V3.33:

WIN_USE ram: DIR ram1_  displays the directory of win1_ but
WIN_USE flp: DIR flp1_ just returns "Not found". Even
WIN_USE rat: DIR rat1_ works fine!

Is this an error? (I dont normally have an flp attached to my laptop
either (USB ones can be had for under £20, though))
