NODICT and PORTABLE are mutually exclusive. When you create a portable subfile,
you are naming the dictionary part. The data part is the first 7 letters of the
portable subfile name plus Q. I may be totally off base here, but that would
explain it.

That appears to be the case. I did not run across the Q data file naming
convention in the QUIZ manual thus my confusion. However, it appears that
NODICTIONARY does indeed work with PORTABLE as no dictionary file is created
when that is specified but the Q file is.
Anyway it is all working now.
