EMERGENCY PROBLEM: Starting filePro

[Art Moore]

I have the following in a bat file which file is both in my c:\ and my
c:\fp dir :

@echo off
Rem this file created by install shield
set PFDSK=C
set PFDATA=C:
set PFPROG=C:
set PFDIR=
set PFMENU=C:\fp\menus
set PFGLOB=
set PFCONFIG=
set PATH=%PFPROG%\fp;%path%
%PFPROG%\p.exe dproment

However when in C:\ drive and looking at this file when I try to save
it I get the error 'cannot create the C:\filePro50.bat file ... Make
sure that the path and file name are correct'.

I have no fpconfig file per search on disk.
