Michael -  Reading the manual would lead you to believe some 
things about the operation of DOS that do not hold for the 
Windows version.  According to Sammy there is a problem with the 
fact that TSE is not run in a console but DOS must be, so TSE 
loses control of the console process and it returns immediately 
in spite of the _DEFAULT_ flag.

The solution that appears to work is for TSE to call the compiler 
indirectly, via a DOS bat file which first calls the compiler and 
then pauses ("press any key").  That way, I get to see the 
compiler output in real time and simultaneously to tee the 
compliler output to a log file.  On error, TSE can load the log 
file and use it to take further action --- goto the line number 
where the error occured.

Thanks everyone for your help,
John Frampton
