I've been testing the RTSI file containing "IcnEd V3.18 by Gene Heskett, 
1995" in the source code. Gene, is this the latest version?

I started by changing all of the Shell calls to use the new syntax for 
Tmode. In this case, echo and -echo become eko= 1 or 0 and pause -pause 
is now pau= 1 or 0. Initially the program gave an error 48 which was 
because I had not preloaded my B09Utils merged file containing gfx, 
gfx2, inkey, and syscall. With that taken care of, making sure I had an 
env.file in SYS, and running the program from a graphics window, I got 
error 201 - illegal Path Number.

As yet, I've not seen a link for this error in the source code. The 
error occurs after MultiView type window is started with IcnFiles and 
DirFiles in the menubar. An arrow mouse icon is also present. I don't 
see your credit message.
