sys_errlist

[John Fralinger]

Mumit,
   Thanks for your quick response.
   Your test code below does indeed work.

I am still confused about when to use an "_" and when not to.

I do not have any problems implementing Mr. Siddiqi's suggestion
but I would like to understand what's going on.

   Thanks again...
