I had this problem, too.  After experimenting I determined that some PCTools
programs can't handle a switchar of -.  PCShell won't run, Compress can't
find it's help file.  Other problems may show up later.  This is very
disturbing to me since I love my switchar but I feel I can't completely
trust *any* of the new PCTools.  I've tried to call Central Point but their
line is busy.  Meanwhile, I'm holding on to version 4.
