Thanks!  That's what I needed - a way to set one of several different 
errorlevels.

Thanks for the hint as well.  FWIW my comment about a 'superior compiler like 
PB' was *not* in jest - everything seems simpler in PB than in QB/PDS (except 
the much discussed switching to SUB windows).  The errorlevel thing sure is! 
:^)
My sincere thanks to *everyone* who replied!
