This actually DOES work, but apparently for the wrong reasons. :-)

I was just up to RSI today showing them all my weird bugs
and they agreed this was one of them. In the process of showing
it to them I discovered that once I had set Catch=0 and my
program didn't run, that when I removed the Catch=0 my program
actually BEHAVED as if Catch=0 were active! Neat! (This is
how you get rich writing books, by the way, explaining things
like this.)

So, anyway, something weird is going on, but doing as
Liam suggests actually works. To turn the "action" off,
just do this:

XManager, Catch=1

Cheers,

David
