That's the spot.

 WV> Did it get processed in any way? Maybe you can send the file?

Like me, my (DOS/Win) system is failing bit-by-bit.  What used to work now
doesn't.  Everything on this side of the transaction looked good.  Nothing
happened.  I suspect the background DOS task got killed by an unknown Windows
action.  :(  I'll send the file to you.  It will appear unaccompanied in your
insecure inbound... soon.  Thank you for your patience, Wilfred.

 WV> Btw: I think 'send' is corrent here. I used google, and found: "'Send'
 WV> is the present tense, 'sent' is the past tense.'" ;) Now I will have
 WV> to try and remember that. Will be difficult. ;)

It sounds so cool with a Dutch accent too.  ;)

Cheers,
Paul.
