Hello, Thomas: First, a big thank you. We are getting closer to success.

Go to Tools / Internet Options / TF> Progams. Choose The Bat! for Email. click OK. Close IE. Open The TF> Bat and see whether your problem persists. Done. Now, Outlook seems to be finally irrelevant to the operation of The Bat. Curiously, I still see "A call to an OS function failed" when I run The Bat NOLOGO. This startup, and the normal (with logo) startup both require an ENTER after I double-click on the icon. I guess I should be happy now. Pigs want wings, too.
