It would appear that a "bug" has been fixed in 5.0.13 which is not mentioned in
the readme.  It is no longer valid syntax to include a "." (period) in a long
variable name.  filePro has allowed this since v4.8 without any apparent issues.
Existing tokenised programs appear to still run OK but will no longer pass the
syntax check.  Jerry Sloan has verified that this was deemed a bug and "fixed".
We have requested yet another environment variable to bypass this fix or revert
back to previous behaviour if there is no technical reason not to, but have not
yet received an answer.
