This should work fine, except that you are trying to execute an External
Program, from the External Programs menu, which if your trying to do, will work
fine if setup.  Anyways, why I'm getting at is that you can not put pathin a
EXEC_XTRN, if that's what you wwant to do then delete the ARGS line, and use
EXEC "Bleah"  

(This is a purely from my memory on Baja programming, and I may not be !))%
correct, but I think I am. :)
