Note that I was able to duplicate the (lack of) error here using the
files you sent me.  While I haven't yet looked further into it, by
examining the tok file it generated, I can see that what's happening
is that filePro thinks you are attempting to access a USER program
with a null name.  (Which, of course, cannot exist.)

That it, it's compiling it as if it were:

   USER null_user_command_name = something
   ...
   wb = qa { null_user_command_name ; goto wbt

Where "null_user_command_name" is a null string.

So, yes, this definitely falls under the "very weird" category.
