you may have a bad file. To use type: CRCK4 <filespec>

Dear Mr. Jones
This is the body of a form letter. It was first written with a word
processor and then modified to become a command file. The modifications
are: placement of question marks at the beginning of each line and
enclosing the text in single quotes or square brackets. In this way,
each line of text is written to the ALTERNATE file by means of the SET
ALTERNATE commands in MAILLTTR.CMD (which calls this command file).
The text of the letter can be altered based on the database data fields.
For instance, if the content of the letter should change for different
states, then this condition can be checked and the appropriate action
can be taken.
Yours truly
Mike R. O. Chip
