ISTR that if a !Run file contains *anything* after the line that actually runs the program then it will remain open until the program terminates. Normally this wouldn't matter, but if you try to run a second instance then the !Run file will still be open. I think this even applies if there's a LF at the end of the final line. Certainly most programs (and all of mine) just end the !Run file at the end of the final line with no line terminator. -- David Holden - APDL - <http://www.apdl.co.uk>
