Agreed. 
It seems that line 1081 references test%, which has not been defined. 

The error can be displayed very simply: If BusTimes v1.19 is started,
and Select clicked in the iconbar, the error is raised. At that point,
PROCnull has not been called, which is the only place where test% is
set.

This may only happen when a wget does not give the expected results,
but nevertheless is a bug that can (and has!) happened, which could be
made less confusing for users.
