Using the commented table to avoid filePro syntax errors
I removed line-at-a-time every line but:

  @MENU    If:
         Then:

and the error persisted.  I even tried it with a 1-line table
with no label and only a single quote on the Then: line (to
keep filePro from discarding it).  Still the error occurred,
although the table had not been executed.

This was the clue.  The Menu Command Line executing it was:

  @/fp/dclerk fPfile -s0 -y '' -z shell

I removed the @ and the error disappeared.

PS - The reason I had the @ there was because sometimes after
     exiting the UNIX shell the Menu Choice would spontaneously
     execute again, and it was easier to type "[Enter]" than to
     type "[Enter]exit[Enter]".  But if I have to type the latter
     every now and then that'll be easier than having to move the
     cursor to the upper right corner of the window and click.
