This was the perfect solution ...... the output file was being closed on
reaching its limit, and then reset and re-opened leaving me with only
the tail end of what I expected.

It would be nice if there were more intelligent clues printed in the
STDLIST.  Does anyone else see this as a bug (or at the very least,
an unfriendly feature)?  QUIZ should abort on reaching an output file
limit.  Its not much use getting an output file that doesn't contain what
your program asks for.

Many thanks to all who replied to my message.
