I tried doing that.  Even tried changing the Selpath reference from CONST to 
VAR. Program continues to not compile.  In case it makes a difference, I'm 
using Borland Pascal v7.01, and BPX.EXE.  At any rate, since the idiotic - to 
me - bpxref program's FSplit line won't behave, I'm wondering if any of you 
have a working program similar to it.

One that I can use to go through a directory that has a few hundred .pas files 
that I got from a friend last year.  I'm curious as to whether I can get any of 
them recompiled - getting rid of the RTE200 gremlin -- but wanted some program 
that could scan through all of them and pick out which files were PROGRAM 
files, and which were UNIT files.

On side note, is there any online sources available that are for beginners that 
show how to learn Windows programming basics using Borland Pascal or Virtual 
Pascal?  Or would I be better off buying a Windows programming book from a 
local college used book store and studying that?  I'd like to learn at least 
the basics of writing Windows-based programs sometime this year, but am not 
sure how to best start the process.

Sean and Jason, thanks for the assistance.  Donald
