      For years I've prefaced many of my error messages with, "Please write
down the following error and notify Mike Schwartz:\n".

      And, yes, I've pre-paid for 50 years of service to the phone that I'm
going to have buried with me.

     I wouldn't mind it at all if our wish-list showed:  Change "A filePro
error has occurred..." to "Please hardcopy or write down the following
filePro error...".

      Not that that would probably do any good...
