   I believe I'm entering the wildcard in both cases from the command line. It's   
   just that Magen gets it the second time not the first

   APW/Orca hand the wildcard to the program and let it iterate through the   
   possibilities itself. So if    
   something changed in the way wildcards are processed, that could cause things   
   to fail, but you'd expect it to cause most things to fail the same way.

   Yes, the four macro files are listed. For kicks I replaced Magen v2.0.2 with   
   v2.0 and it all works as expected.

   I just found out last night I can. I didn't have the init version installed   
   and not sure if I had the app installed completely. I just have to figure out   
   how to use it. I can step through the code but haven't figured out how to exit   
   gracefully yet. Some    
   of the commands in my documentation don't seem to work, for example page 244   
   in my ORCA/M manual states there are three commands to exit the debugger. "Q"   
   doesn't work for me, or I'm not entering it properly, "QR" doesn't work,   
   "Unload does but leaves    
   things in not so good a state. I've only just started with it so I need to   
   work at it; I'm just not sure the documentation I have is valid in some   
   instances.   
      
   Thank you for responding.
