Tip of the day - USER command

I've been working with the USER command a lot recently and was having
problems with it either hanging or blowing up.  I determined that if the
user presses Break just before the USER command was written to, it caused
filePro to exit to the shell.  Also, occassionally the USER command would
hang for reasons I haven't been able to figure out.

In either case I found that if you CLOSE the USER command and then reopen it
these things don't happen.  For example, for 'USER pcm = /var/scripts/pcms'
you would 'CLOSE pcm'.  This slows things down somewhat, but if you are
having problems having it blowup or hang, give this a try.
