5196.0. "IconX" by TOOK::KEEGAN (Peter Keegan) Tue Nov 12 1991 20:33

I'm having a problem using IconX with a script that passes a 
switch to a basic program (bbaseII). The script contains:
run :utilities/bbaseII -f<database_name>

where <database_name> = name of database

Running this command from the cli works fine, but from IconX I get:

System Request
Illegal function call
at line 65 in module = MID$

I tried quoting the switch, etc. but to no avail.
Is this a problem with IconX or bbaseII?
Any insight on this one?

    You don't say what the BASIC is (AmigaBASIC?).  Did you attempt to
    print the arguments to the MID$ function to see if the string contents
    (and integer contents) are correct?

From the bBaseII documentation:
bBaseII was written in HiSoft BASIC Version 1.05, and compiled using
     the HiSoft BASIC Professional compiler.

Since I only have a binary version to experiment with
