   It sounds like you're entering the name of a file that doesn't exist?   
   Like this?   
      
   Which, Add, Remove, Edit, or Quit: A   
      
   Before which file [last]:   
      
   Path and filename (no path indicates /sbbs/data/text/operator/filename):   
   alksdjf   
      
   File not found.   
   /sbbs/data/text/operator/alksdjf   
      
   Description:   
   alksdjf   
      
   If so, that's as expected.

   You're expected to add files that already exist.

   No. That feature could be added I suppose, but it's never worked like that.
