John,
That's it!
Somewhere, page_screen_output gets set to 1 during the
script.
I don't request it, so no idea where it comes from. but
after placing the line to set this variable to 0 in the
script, the script prints out properly.
So my workaround is simply to keep the variable set to zero
and all is well.
Regarding upgrade...
I have XP, just don't like to use it - too slow
Is there a new binary for Windows that just installs?
