When you say lockup, do you mean it needs a Reset/Power Off, or will
Alt-Break stop it?

Always nasty getting close to such problems!

If you can add a *ReportLogOn command into you program as close to the
problem as you can (or even at the beginning!) it will write the Reported
info to disc - AND it makes sure it is on the disc before continuing. See
!Help for further details. It will slow your program down, but that is a
small prioce to pay if it speeds your debugging!

Do not use Basic TRACE and *ReportTrace commands, they do not mix!
Everything the Basic TRACE command can do (well, almost all) can be done
with *ReportTrace, and you can write to a file (see above).

If you want any more specific help, please contact me directly.
