1. open dir cfg.UserPrefs
2. open dir modes
3. open dir JR
4. load ModeWhen into StrongED
5. add following line to Rules include:-
   fff,**-**
7. save ModeWhen
***[7a. quit StrongED]***
8. double click on a file with a dash in its filename eg -readme
   result:-
   10:11:59.31 ** Error **
     Error  : &80000002
     Message: Internal error: abort on data transfer at &0000F760

The error occurs if I omit step 7a.

I have sent a zip of the JR mode directory to you.
