Thanks for your reply. I first reran the installation
program and did a "repair" install with no success. Then I
ran Add/Remove Programs and uninstalled ActiveState,
reinstalled it, and the
dir version posted above ran
perfectly. It seems that a buggy ActiveState installation
program is to blame.
An important test will come tomorrow since I
don't have "map" on my home computer. I'll un/reinstall
ActiveState at work tomorrow, try my first example
program and post an update regarding `map`
results. Thanks again, also to everyone else that replied.
