Yeah, I'd figured out that was why it worked, but I still assume that the
command itself must have a buffer, that whilst it is treated as local to the
procedure, should be cleared each time it is called anyway, and apparently isn't being.
If it was down to a bug in ASL library, I'd expect to have seen the same behaviour in
other apps before. I can only assume it's a bug in the blitz handling of the
library.

Hmmm. Well, I use MagicASL here, which patches the ASL library anyway, and you'd
assume should clear up any bugs. In any event, I don't check for ENforcer hits
with my code. I trust Blitz...........some people (me) are so trusting it
beggars belief :o)
Besides, although up to 5000 calls to AslPathRequest are a /possibility/ in the
util, I wouldn't expect more than 1 or 2 in normal use.
