Why me??

Actually there are two bugs here, both involving the same (alleged) feature:
Going to the Editor straight from the Pascal compiler.

The "hasty" 2.0 compiler (V1.143 9-Mar-84) just gives this message then quits
but doesn't affect anything else:
PCSetRunCmd(-#Boot-Editor)

The MacSupplement compiler (V1.153 22-Mar-84) gives this message then quits:
PCSetRunCmd(E)

When you try to use Gen (V2.57 22-Mar-84) with the Supplement Pascal,
the last error message you got when trying the E option is stuck in the
command input buffer and tries to use that message as the input file name.
If you're using a command (oops EXEC) file to run your compile/gen/link
commands, it stops using the command file. This happens even after a succesful
compilation.

Either way, the E option just don't work!

I haven't been able to find the document called "Putting Together a Mac
Application". Is it using an alias? This seems like a pretty important document.
BTW, I received my Supplement just yesterday.

I'm also typing in some of the utilities from Kernighan and Plaugher's
"Software Tools in Pascal".
Hints:
1) Use the UCSD primitives
2) When typing in the utilities, use xstring instead of string.
I've already got the sort utility running and am now typing in the macro processor.
