This will be somewhat common occurence if you mix old/new ARP commands or
BCPL/ARP commands. I suspect if you looked up the code it would be library
not found. Anyway, if you do get ARP from MicroSmiths ($5 to their P.O. Box,
I have forgotton the zip, Joanne will know it if she's listening :-) You
should take care to delete older versions of the Arp commands from your disk.
Anyway, check the search path and see if you may have conflicting names
for useful commands in the path. (known as "the dot problem" in UNIX).

Note on a 2000 without SetAlert this behaviour will cause you to believe 
your machine has crashed.
