(On the one hand, it's not expecting directories within PPNs and so probably isn't checking the directory entry type. But on the other hand, it doesn't make sense to try to recurse in that way when we're using AMOS-style syntax. I'll take a close look at the code this afternoon and see if it can be easily updated to avoid the problem.

Code ++include ashinc:ashell.def ? "STOP at ";ODTIM(0,0,0) STOP ? "GO at ";ODTIM(0,0,0) END The log indicates no delay between the two logged messages... Quote .SUBMIT STOPGO.CTL/NEXT:0-0-0/W .TYPE STOPGO.LOG .LOG 150,277 Already logged in under DSK0:[150,277] .RUN STOPGO STOP at 14-Jan-25 17:52:20 Program stop at location counter &h39 of STOPGO.RUN Enter CR to continue: LOGOFF GO at 14-Jan-25 17:52:20 The same program run interactively stops and waits at the STOP statement. Here's the updated (beta) version if you want to test it: ash-7.0.1768.0-el9-upd.tz ash-7.0.1768.0-el9-efs-upd.tz ash70notes.txt Pay particular attention to the notes regarding the various compiler edits starting with 1052, and note that this is still in Beta!
