I've been trying to let this one just go by my screen.  But when I kept
seeing suggestion after suggestion that didn't start with the obvious
question (regarding what was in SOURCE.DBG) I couldn't help but let my
fingers do the typing.

Does the file SOURCE.DBG look like this:
a  	; for ASSEMBLE
SOURCE CODE
<ENTER> ; to exit ASSEMBLE MODE
RCX     ; file size
RBX     ; File size
W	; Write file
Q	; QUIT (this is as important as "A" for assemble)

I do this: DEBUG<SOURCE.DBC>SOURCE.LST all the time.  I just did it
the other day.  There is nothing broken about DOS STDIN or STDOUT,
but did the originator try these obvious things?  Did all you who
responded think of them
