Just had it happen again. The path is again wrong (but the path exists,
although the Library file is not there). 

I had previously assumed that because it was not 'Error' it could not be
Reporter that did the Throwback. But thinking about the error you have
found, if the 'Processing' was caused by the SE error then it *could* be
Reporter?

Reporter gets the path name in the *ReportError command which is issued
from a BASIC program. It uses SWI "XOS_GetEnv" to get the initial command
line that started the BASIC program. This obviously normally works, but I
am wondering if there any cases where it does not!

I will have another go at trapping it with debugging in Reporter,
hopefully tomorrow, to see what it sends if/when it goes wrong.
