| That makes no sense at all, unless you have another executable named "sort"

You got it RIGHT, Bro ! ! !

Originally, when I wrote this stuff, all I provided the user
about how to use it was an example of a User Menu Command Line
in the README.txt file.

I thought I'd make it more user friendly by creating a "sort.bat"
file in its filePro file folder to kick it off.

The best laid plans of mice and men oft gang astray when the good
intentions of a Windows illiterate UNIX programmer starts messing
around on Windows.

Thanks ! ! !
