George Armhold asks what AmigaDOS error 212 represents.  According to my 
1.2 Manual, Error 212 is:

	'Object not of required type'

The example given is feeding a directory to the TYPE command instead of a
a file.  AmigaDOS doesn't allow you to display a directory, only files.

Hope this helps, George.
