Bob,
I have no idea what the problem is, I got exactly the same result in both 5.0a and 6.0. This includes the last part of the "INCLUDE" directory getting truncated at it. Admittedly I did this from the command window (which should produce the same results as running it from a prg) in both cases. However, checking the path in the Options dialog showed the correct search path. This, of course is in the 6.0 release.
