I don't know why or how you got away with this so long.

A filePro User Menu Action Command Line will automatically
prepend $PFPROG to a command beginning with /fp on its line,
but I'm not aware of $PFPROG being automatically prepended
to such lines in scripts called by filePro User Menu Action
Command Lines.

Are you _sure_ that was what was happening?
