Here we go again...

THE 40-FOLDER BUG IS NOT FIXED.  THE 40-FOLDER BUG IS NOT FIXED.

Use FOLDRXXX.PRG (rename it to FOLDR100.PRG and put it in your AUTO folder)
to work around this bug.  You will not be notified when you run out of
folders, but it's a lot harder to use 140 than to use 40, and if you
do get close to that, just rename it to FOLDR200.PRG.

I WILL TELL YOU WHEN THE 40-FOLDER BUG IS FIXED.  DO NOT BELIEVE ANY
OTHER REPORTS UNTIL YOU HEAR IT FROM ME.  I AM THE ONLY PERSON WORKING
ON THIS.

I *am* working on it, so don't despair.  When the fix comes out, it will
be more sweeping than you think (unless you think big).
