Hi Scott - the source to AR should be in DL9... unfortunately, it's in AR
format :-).

Can you load AR?  If so, then you can Save it back out and that should fix
things up.  Ooops.  Wait.  You say part of it is missing?  You may have to
download it again.

PS: the "can't execute J" thing.... always confuses people.  What that means is
that you have the command in the wrong place.  Try moving it to your commands
directory, and be sure to set execution attributes on it.

Here's the deal.  As you know, OS9 searches memory first, then the exec dir,
and then looks in the data dir for a *shell procedure* text file.  GRIN. Guess
what the first byte of an OS9 module is in ASCII?   If you guessed "J", you're
correct!   The shell tried to run it as a shell script, and got terribly
confused.   best - kev
