my !MoreDesk helper program !rotor! makes heavy use of !Report to 
provide run time diagnostics. It tests for the presence of Reporter in 
the !Run file:
 IF "<Reporter$Path>"="" THEN Set rotor$Debug 0
If rotor$Debug is >0, *report commands are issued, otherwise they are 
not executed.

The problem happens when Reporter is running at the time that rotor is 
started, but is subsequently quit.
In this case rotor fall over in a heap as soon as it tries to execute 
a *report command.

Is there anything I can do to detect that Reporter has stopped?
