My MACRO directory contains a lot of .MACRO files and one .DATA file (TableLkup.Data). I have a MACRO profile but no DATA profile. The MACRO profile has no USE name.

When I use a FF command from FM, say "FF Get_Curr_Word$" then a popup asks to create new Profile DATA. I decided to associate (USE) my TXT profile.

The remaining FF process then complains about my MACRO profile having an invalid USE of "TX". And yes, looking at the MACRO profile, the "Profile USE Name." is now set to "TX". The new DATA profile has the correct "TXT" "Profile USE Name.

Jo: This will have to wait a bit for debugging. It's in the ugliest part of code for Profile support. I had a quick look this morning and quickly got lost down the rabbit hole; can't remember what some of the code is even doing.

OK, finally searched through the rabbit warren of code and found it. Of course once you find it, it's a 1 line fix.

This was a tough one, please take pity on me, no more like this.
