Perhaps it is a problem, perhaps not. Have you corrected the blink error? If you are finding you have blink issues on a somewhat frequent basis, perhaps the focus is not in the right place? I might be trying to ascertain why my files are becoming damaged and worry about how BASIC deals with it after the corruption is taken care of. That takes the pressure of you and allows you to reproduce the BASIC concern in a controlled environment for support.
I am not convinced hiding behind ON ERROR when file corruption is detected is the right thing to do. But, someday putting a toggle in uvconfig might make everyone happy. Perhaps someday.

I have a case open with techsupport in Australia and hope to supply them with more information today. regards, Craig ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/gif which had a name of graycol.gif] [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/gif which had a name of pic08619.gif] [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/gif which had a name of ecblank.gif] ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
