Hey Mike,

Thanks for the heads up on SysEx messages. This is an aspect of MIDI that I've never used -- never had a need to -- so I'm not at all familiar with what it can and can't do. I've looked it up in BiaB's Index and I see where it's generally used just to issue an "On" message for certain types of devices. But as you indicate, perhaps something else is lurking about.

BiaB's Index sez that these are files that can be made with Power Tracks Pro Audio or a editor/librarian software program. Well, I don't have an editor/librarian that I know of, but I do have a copy of Power Tracks Pro Audio around here somewhere. I saw that CD not that long ago -- just need to see if I can remember where. I did a search of my computer for *.syx files and I found only one. And I don't think it has anything to do with BiaB or MIDI. It's located in an obscure directory that was downloaded from a thumbdrive I own, but haven't used in years. It's in the drive's "Secure" directory and appears to have something to do with the thumbdrive's security setup. That thumbdrive's set of directories is over 12 years old and the thumbdrive is even older than that. Back when 256MB was a lot. cool

So anyway I'm reasonably certain that a SysEx file is not the culprit here.
