Sherry, you didn't mention it but which machine (aka, which TOS) are you
using?  This sounds like a problem with TOS 2.05/2.06 in which the compiler
doesn't like XCONTROL.ACC.  There are two fixes:

1) Run the compiler _without_ XCONTROL.ACC loaded.

2) Change the RESERVE memory setting in the compiler source code and recompile.
   Start up your interpretor and load MENU.GFA (the compiler source code) find
   the RESERVE line near the beginning of the file and change it to some huge
   number (I use RESERVE 150000, I think).  Then RUN the program in interpreted
   mode and use it to compile _itself_ saving the newly compiled file as
   MENU.PRG.  Tricky, eh?  For safety's sake, be sure you maintain a backup
   copy of the original MENU.GFA source, OK?  ;-)

Anyhow, either of these should resolve the compile problem judging from how
you described it.  If not, let us know...

Cheers,
