HELP!!

We are writing a very big application which makes use of several different
.prg's.  Within each .prg are many procedures.  We use the set procedure to
command to tell foxbase where to find the procedures.  The problem is, however,
that if we type set procedure to, with nothing after it, we get an error which
says that the file is in use.  Here is a code excerpt:

set procedure to a.prg
	.
	.
  do proc1 && procedure in a.prg
	.
	.
set procedure to
set procedure to b.prg
   do proc2 && procedure in b.prg
set procedure to a.prg
   do proc3 && procedure in a.prg

It crashes when it hits the blank set procedure to line.  We tried it without
that line, but it then crashed on the next line.  Without any set procedures,
it says that the file does not exist.

HELP -- This is very URGENT.

Thank you,
