I'll be darned<g>. I have been testing with DO Main. I compiled, and my messagebox reported just as you and George have been telling me it would.

Go figure - I owe you guys a beer!

Let me review a little:
1)SYS(2019) only seems to report if EXE is running, and not a DO (fxp/prg).
1)TMPFILES in CONFIG.FPW sets the "work" folder only when EXE is opened, and not an IDE file. DOing a PRG ignores CONFIG.FPW's TMPFILES setting and uses a "hidden" folder that I just noticed is assigned (Tools->Options->Tab:Filelocations->Column:FileType->ListItem:Temporary Files).

My assumption is that config.sys only kinks when EXE is run. This assumption seems true - gives the results I want - but I have no idea what is really happening.

Thanks so much, Sergey!
