You are correct in assuming it did exit as it should when I pressed 
ENTER.  I ran the process again, selected the same range of records and 
it processed to zero.  I had the weird thing happen twice yesterday, 
however.

Now I just tried to run two, files at the same time, and they both tried 
to write to rp{00000 (for an temp index)  The first one I started 
crashed saying the index was invalid.  The second one went merrily 
along.  I cleared all the lost rp* and st* files in the temp folder, 
started it again and it seems to be happy.  There were a number (40 or 
so) of lost files in the temp folder.
