The line in question is in `!ScummVM.!Run`: ``` Set Alias$Run_ScummVM Run .scummvm %%*0 >.ScummVM.stdout 2>.ScummVM.stderr ``` Choices should be used for configuration information, not for diagnostics. If you have diagnostics you should write them to Scrap$Dir at the very least. Using `` would be akin to writing to `/etc/scummvm/stderr` on a unix system, or possibly `$XDG_CONFIG/ScummVM/stderr` which hopefully you can see makes the decision to use `Choices$Write` clearly wrong." defect new normal Port: RISC OS
