Barb:

originally I had something like this:

S A.IBS,NXT
O A,NXT
L T01,E,S,L
*
S B.IBS,NXT
O B,NXT
L T01,E,S,L
*
S C.IBS,NXT
O C,NXT
L T01,E,S,L
R MTB

It would die with E34 on the second compile ("B")

this, on the other hand, works every time:
S A.IBS,NXT
O A,NXT
L B
*
S B.IBS,NXT
O B,NXT
L B
*
S C.IBS,NXT
O C,NXT
L B
R MTB

If I run this command file (only one program), it works the first time, but if I run it again (while it's still inside MTB) it fails every time on the second go-around)
S C.IBS,NXT
O C,NXT
L T01,E,S,L
R MTB

what I discovered was that when the single program command file fails the second time, I tried to delete the C.LST file in NXT.... but I couldn't because it was somehow locked. When I got out of MTB, I could Delete C.LST and then re-run the single program command file

I have no idea how the lock mechanism works, but it seems that as long as I'm in MTB, the LST file get's locked and then the E34 results. Get out of MTB, the LST file's unlocked and it will work just fine once I get back into MTB.

but.... there seems to be no way to get the LIST L option to work either serially with the same source, or serially with a list of sources... just can't waste any more time on it... so, since I need compile listings, I'm single stepping thru the list.... tedious but getting there.
